What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain standard expenses associated with closing the sale of a house. These fees are often split between the buyer and seller, as instructed in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Florida to help show you through the process.

Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When purchasing real estate in County, you will 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 past experiences and is required to be within an acceptable range so you're not astonished when you come to closing time. I'll be glad to review the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
