Closing costs you should expect

There are certain ordinary expenses linked to closing the sale of a house. These expenses are commonly divided 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 guide you through the transaction.

Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, not only will I 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 fully explain the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When purchasing real estate in Palm Beach 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 past experiences and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not startled when you reach the closing table. I'll be happy to look through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
