Closing Costs

There are certain standard costs associated with closing the sale of a house. These fees are sometimes split between the buyer and the seller, as spelled out in the sales contract.

I will walk you through the closing costs, answering any questions you may have explaining which costs are decreed by law to be yours and which are negotiable.

Good Faith Estimate

Buyers will receive a "Good Faith Estimate" of closing costs (or AKA as a "GFE" at the time the loan application is submitted to me.  I will be glad to review the "Good Faith Estimate," of any of my competetitors answering questions and highlighting missing costs and estimates I believe to be low or to high.
