A closing cost calculator for seller quotes one blended range, 1% to 3% of sale price, for title, escrow, notary, and transfer tax combined. Florida's own piece of that range is fixed and exact: $0.70 per $100 of sale price for the documentary stamp tax on your deed. Cash Flow Deals is one option that separates that fixed number from the rest before you sign anything.

One Range, Four Different Costs

So what is actually inside a seller's 1% to 3% closing cost range? Four separate categories bundled into one number: title insurance, escrow or attorney fees, notary fees, and transfer tax. Each one is priced differently, and only one of them is fixed by state law rather than negotiated with a vendor.

Commission sits outside that range entirely, at 5% to 6% of sale price on top. Seller concessions, if a buyer asks for repair credits, typically run 0% to 2% more. None of those numbers is the transfer tax specifically, even though a generic calculator lumps transfer tax into the same 1% to 3% bucket as everything else. Run your own sale price through all four categories separately and the total looks different than the blended range implies.

Florida's Exact Number Inside the Range

Florida's transfer tax is not a range. It is $0.70 per $100 of sale price statewide under Florida Statute 201.02(1)(a), or $0.60 per $100 in Miami-Dade County under Florida Statute 201.031, with no surtax on a single-family transfer. On a $350,000 sale, that is $2,450 outside Miami-Dade, a number you can calculate exactly, unlike the title and escrow fees sitting next to it in the same generic bucket.

Cash Flow Deals is a Florida real estate investor that locks in a net price for a seller's house before repairs are scoped, using a novation-based, flat-fee process arranged through its licensed FL brokerage partner, Silver Door Realty - not a traditional listing, and not a brokerage itself.

Think of the 1% to 3% range like a restaurant check split four ways with only one exact receipt: you can see the total, but you cannot see which of the four people actually owes what until someone itemizes it.

Get the Itemized Number, Not the Range

You should not have to guess which piece of a 1% to 3% range actually applies to your closing.

Cash Flow Deals Offer Process:

1. Cash Flow Deals reviews your house and returns a written net-price offer with closing costs itemized, not blended, typically within 24 to 48 hours.

2. Its licensed FL brokerage partner, Silver Door Realty, walks you through exactly what the transfer tax, title work, and any other line item cost.

3. You pick the closing date - as soon as 10 business days out, or later if you need more time.

The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed - foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure - we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens.

Use the 1% to 3% range first if you want a rough starting point. Just know Florida's transfer tax inside it is exact, not a range at all.

Common questions

What is actually inside a seller's 1% to 3% closing cost range?

Title insurance, escrow or attorney fees, notary fees, and transfer tax, all blended into one range. Commission (5% to 6%) and seller concessions (0% to 2%) sit outside that range entirely.

Is Florida's transfer tax part of that 1-3% range or a separate exact number?

It's inside the range but exact on its own: $0.70 per $100 of sale price statewide under Florida Statute 201.02(1)(a), or $0.60 per $100 in Miami-Dade under Florida Statute 201.031.

Can I get closing costs itemized instead of blended into one range?

Yes. Cash Flow Deals can return a written net-price offer with closing costs itemized, typically within 24 to 48 hours.
