Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.
Buyers: If you are purchasing a house in Charlotte 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 a reasonable range so you're not surprised when you show up at the closing appointment. I'll be willing to go over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
