In the offer letter our agent presented to us (buyers) to sign, in part B the first paragraph says that according to the Real Property Article section 14-104(c) the seller will pay all recordation and local transfer tax for a first time Maryland homebuyer unless expressly agreed otherwise. Then in the next paragraph (in bold) it states that the amount will be shared equally between buyer and seller unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Which is it? And which is typical? Thanks.
