Sellers: As we negotiate your deal, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for reduced closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Buyers: When buying a house, you'll be given 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 suitable range so you're not stunned when you get to the closing table. I'll be willing to look at the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
