UNDERSTANDING CLOSING COSTS
As we negotiate the purchase contract on your behalf, we will strive to achieve not only the selling price that you want, but to also limit the number and amount of closing costs for which you are responsible.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
Buyers will receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The estimate is based on the loan officer’s past experience and may not include all the closing costs. We are happy to review the Good Faith Estimate and provide comments based on our experience.
