Next time, be sure to include all fees in the contract as part of the purchase price and that seller is responsible for closing costs.
So instead of purchase price being $1k, you load the $1k purchase price + $650 transfer fee + $250 deed transfer/recording + $100 escrow (if any) + mf reimbursement (if any) all in the sale price. Then state that seller will pay all costs. This simple way of restating the transaction has several benefits.
Win-win for both...
Seller gets quicker transfer (generally, hyatt takes longer if they ROFR), plus sometimes they end up handling the closing themselves and seller will receive residual fees back from closing company (generally less ROFR processing fee).
Buyer has a better chance of passing ROFR.
