The costs to close on a Spring Texas house are significant easily totaling several thousand dollars. Due to the magnitude of the closing costs, it is easy to understand why buyers are looking at every way possible to save money. One way you can save money is by using the sellers existing survey. How much can you save? Around $300 to $500 which is how much it will cost if you have to get a new survey for the house.
Both your lender and the title company have to agree to accept the sellers existing survey and the majority of time they will. But the majority of the time is not all of the time. Thus there are instances in which you will not be able to use the existing survey the seller has of his Spring Texas house.
The sellers existing survey may not be accepted if:
Bottom line – don’t get excited when you hear the sellers have an existing survey for the house because it doesn’t always work out that you will get to use it.

From the first day we met, we knew Jill was the Realtor we wanted to represent us on the sale of our home. I opened our front door, and there stood Jill with her hand extended, a warm smile and a “Hello Dee Dee”! She greeted my husband the same way. We immediately felt comfortable with Jill Wente.
Jill explained the selling process, reviewed the comparables, and outlined her strategy to sell our Spring Texas home for top dollar. She went through our house room by room with us to stage the home. Later she returned with staging accessories to finalize the transformation of our home into a product.
Jill and her photographer / videographer make a great team. The photos and videos of our house made us say "WOW" and we wanted to buy it instead of selling it. We know that Jill's strategic and professional marketing helped us sell our home for top dollar.
Jill Wente gave us sage financial advice throughout the entire sale of our home. An example of the sage advice was when Jill recommended to us not to overprice our home. She explained that overpricing increases days on market and decreases the final sales price. Jill Wente is one of the Top Negotiators in the Real Estate Business. She negotiated favorable terms for the sale our home and displayed her skills once again during the negotiations of repairs.
Gary Greene must be as honored and proud of Jill Wente, as we are. Look no further for a Spring Texas Realtor who shares her knowledge (I took plenty of notes), her sense of humor, and her persistence to leave her clients ecstatic. She far exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful for her expertise and guidance during the stressful time of selling our home. read less
