Anticipated closing costs

There are certain ordinary costs linked to closing the sale of a house. These expenses are often 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 California to help show you through the transaction.

Sellers: As we get through the details of your deal, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're purchasing a home in Contra Costa County, you will 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 reach closing time. I'll be glad to review the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
