Sellers: As we get through the details of your deal, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.
Buyers: If you are buying real estate in , you will receive a "Good Faith Estimate" (GFE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's previous experience and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not shocked when you get to the closing table. I'll be glad to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
