Closing costs you should expect

There are certain normal fees accompanying closing the sale of a house. These costs are usually divided between the buyer and seller, as instructed in the sales contract. Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Florida to help guide you through your transaction.

Sellers: As we hammer out your deal, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Pinellas County, you'll be given 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 prior experience and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not astonished when you get to the closing table. I'll be glad to go over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
