Who exactly pays for what - whether buyer or seller - is often negotiated. It's tied to the price of the house, but if the price ends up a little higher to cover those costs then the buyer is paying for it. Of course, both the buyer's and the seller's agents are once incentivised to achieve as high a price as possible, everything else equal.
