No it is not illegal for the seller to pay all of your closing costs. Sounds like you need a new realtor.For financing in CA it is best to contact Greg Denny who is the #1 lender in California on this site. His number is (800) 335-6897 or email at gvdenny@sbcglobal.net

Peter, depending on your lender and loan programs it is allowed for the seller to pay for up to 6% of your purchase price toward your Recurring and Non-Recurring closing cost
