What Closing Costs Should You Expect?

There are certain normal costs associated with closing the sale of a house. These expenses are usually split between the buyer and seller, as dictated in the sales contract. Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Texas to help guide you through the process.

Sellers: As we hammer out your deal, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying a house, you will 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 reasonable range so you're not startled when you arrive at the closing table. I'll be glad to look at the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
