Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate for lower closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.
Buyers: If you're purchasing a house in Los Angeles 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 suitable range so you're not astonished when you come to closing time. I'll be glad to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
