If you live in a state that does not regulate the fees/premiums, then a title agency may be willing to negotiate the costs of the premiums. Or, they may be able to negotiate some of the fees, like searches/abstracts, copy fees, etc.
If you live in a regulated states, all fees or some fees may be overseen by that State's Department of Insurance and whatever are the state-regulated fees MUST be charged. It would be illegal to over-charge or under-charge the fees.
A Buyer and Seller can negotiate freely as to who pays what fees of the title insurance costs. In some states, tradionally a seller pays for the Owner's Policy and the Buyer pays for the loan policy covering their mortgage. In other states the seller pays for all fees and in others, the buyer pays.
However, there are no laws as to who pays for what, therefore, between the buyer and seller, it is always open to negotiation.
