! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is slightly padded

$225 is $26 above the TX average of $199. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
