What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain expected fees associated with closing the sale of a house. These expenses are usually split between the buyer and seller, as directed in the sales contract. Many are customary, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Florida to help lead you through your deal.

Sellers: As we negotiate your transaction, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited 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: When purchasing real estate in Sarasota 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 past experiences and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not startled when you arrive at the closing appointment. I'll be happy to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
