What Does a First-Time Home Buyer Specialist in Marion Cost?

The cost of working with a first-time home buyer specialist in Marion is typically paid by the seller as part of the commission, so buyers often pay no direct fee. However, buyers should budget for an earnest money deposit of 1 to 3 percent of the purchase price and closing costs of 2 to 5 percent of the loan amount. Down payment assistance through Iowa programs can reduce upfront costs. This is general information and not mortgage or financial advice.
