association, or, if not available, at least three different realtors in 
the locality in which your expenses will be incurred and request:
    (a) The current schedule of closing costs which applies to the area 
in which you are buying or selling;
    (b) Information concerning local custom and practices with respect 
to charging of closing costs which relate to either your sale or 
purchase and whether such costs are customarily paid by the seller or 
purchaser; and
    (c) Information on the local terminology used to describe the costs 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section.
