Do you know how much the transfer tax is? Is it a percentage of sale of home? And I heard something about a mortgage tax?

As a general rule, you will pay a real estate agent a 4% commision on the sale price of the house.
The transfer tax is $4.00 for evey 1,000.00 of the sale.

Fees
Talk to your bank, they can give a list that could be a fee cost when you buy a house. I have two homes that I have bought. Closing costs of fees alone are at least $1000 - $2000 +, not including the money down. 20% down on a property will eliminate PMI , which is a monthly added cost to your mortgage payment. But, most people can not put 20% down.

for everyone out there, i'm a real estate agent. the closing costs for a seller are:
1. transfer tax - $4 for every $1000 paid to NY State
2. real agent comp (normally 4%) -assuming you get one
3. lawyer fees (make sure you get a good lawyer)
these costs are normally added on to the selling price to help cut seller's cost.
