- Real estate commissions
- Escrow and title fees (around 1% of the sale price)
- Natural Hazard Disclosure (NHD) report (approx. $100–150)
- Transfer taxes (depends on city (none in SCV, but LA City is $2.25 per $1000 of purchase price) or county taxes (LA county is $1.10 per thousand, LA City pays both))
- Home warranty (optional, but highly recommended) if offered to the buyer
- HOA document and transfer fees if the home is in a community association, these vary depending on HOA.
