What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain standard costs related to closing the sale of a house. These costs are usually split between the buyer and seller, as instructed 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 get through the details of your deal, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Collier County, you'll receive 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 shocked when you come to the closing appointment. I'll be happy to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
