The number that matters to a seller is the one at the bottom. WG Title helps you model it early, then handles the payoff, prorations and recording that turn it into a wire.

Straight answers
The questions that actually come up.
General explanations, not legal or transaction-specific advice. Call the title team at 214-620-2055 for the facts of your file.
What actually comes out of my sale price?
Your mortgage payoff, the compensation you agreed to with your broker, unpaid property taxes prorated to the closing date, any concessions you agreed to, and closing costs. The net sheet below lets you change each one and watch the bottom line move.
Who pays for the owner's title policy in Texas?
It is negotiable and stated in the contract. In most North Texas residential transactions the seller customarily pays for the owner's policy, but nothing requires it — the contract controls.
What is my agent's commission going to be?
Whatever you and your broker agree to in writing. Commissions are always negotiable and are set solely between you and the broker you hire. WG Title does not set, recommend or receive any part of a real estate commission.
Should I fix anything before I list?
Some repairs return more than they cost and many do not. Our Maximize Your Sell walkthrough gives you a prioritized list based on your own answers about the property.
When do I get my money?
After the deed records and the file funds. We disburse by wire or check the same day funding is confirmed in most residential transactions.

Escrow & closing
WG Title acts as the neutral closing team—coordinating funds, figures, signatures and recording so every party knows what must happen next.
Residential transactions
Buying, selling or refinancing a home brings deadlines and unfamiliar decisions. Our team keeps the process understandable and responsive.
Title insurance
A title search looks for ownership, lien and document problems before closing. Title insurance protects owners and lenders from covered defects that may surface later.
Also relevant
You might be more than one of these.
Probate & inherited property
Heirship, executor authority and court-order coordination, with an in-house probate attorney.

Commissions are always negotiable and are set solely between you and the broker you hire. WG Title does not set, recommend or receive any part of a real estate commission. These figures are a planning model built from the answers you gave.
Texas title insurance premiums are promulgated by the Texas Department of Insurance and are the same at every Texas title company. Escrow and settlement fees are set by each company and do vary.
