Legal fees generally run $800 to $1,500 for a lawyer to handle title transfer through Information Services Corporation and discharge your existing mortgage. That fee is separate from commission and due regardless of how the sale is negotiated.
A few sellers face extra costs beyond that range: an early mortgage payout penalty, outstanding condo or utility adjustments, or repairs a buyer's home inspection turns up during negotiation.
