I'm selling my condo for 220k since I will be moving. I owe 196k on it.

I'm selling to an investor in my building (we are located in VA) and at first he said he was going to pay 100% cash for it, but recently he told me he was going to finance the condo. (Not sure how much he is putting down)

Anyways, we didn't use a realtor so that should save us on some of the costs. As the seller, what should I expect to pay at closing? I know this is going to be hard to give an exact number, I'm looking for a ballpark figure. I'm hoping not any more than 2k since there is no 6% commission.

I think my annual taxes are around 1,900.

Thanks for your help!

Do you have a contract? Do you have a lawyer?

You may want to think about getting one...this could be more of a nightmare since condo associations are likely involved.

i don't think I'm going to lawyer up. the guy buying my place owns 4 other units in the building and is a friend of mine so he knows the ropes on how this works.

I just want to get an estimate on how much I should expect to pay and what a seller is normally responsible for paying.

Don't avoid it. You don't have anyone representing your best interests. The lawyer will.

A lot of Bernie Madoff's clients who lost a lot of money because of him were also his friends at one point...

Just tell him that with it being an association you really do not trust the association so you need your lawyer to give the deal a blessing.
