Default Seller's share of Closing Cost
I just gasped when my Village Realtor gave me an estimate of closing costs for me to sell my 2 year old patio villa. A sale price of $185,000 could run at least $12,900 and he said the lion's share of closing is borne by the seller. Is this something peculiar to The Villages real estate people or would an outside realtor like Lyle Grant have a cheaper way to sell a house?

I wish I didn't have to sell my home but I must return to my family in the North. I feel like I'm being punished for daring to leave FL.
