Seasoned Florida Realtor\u00ae<\/a> Zac Coletti<\/a> said he has encountered many sellers who are blindsided when they find out what they have to pay at closing and often finds himself taking on the role of educator. For example, he says that although it\u2019s customary for sellers to pay for title insurance<\/a> in Florida, most sellers don\u2019t realize it and become alarmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really depends on how the information is presented to the seller,\u201d Coletti says. \u201cIf it\u2019s brought up as a red flag, then it\u2019s going to be a red flag in the seller\u2019s eyes. If it\u2019s presented to them as a standard, typical cost that\u2019s nothing to be alarmed by, there are never any issues.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
