Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also advocate for reduced closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying a home in County, you'll get 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 surprised when you reach the closing appointment. I'll be willing to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
