Anticipated closing costs

There are certain ordinary fees associated with closing the sale of a house. These expenses are usually split between the buyer and seller, as noted 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 negotiate 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 reached an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Broward County, you will be given a "Loan Estimate" (LE) 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 an appropriate range so you're not stunned when you show up at closing time. I'll be willing to go over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
