What closing costs should you expect?
There are certain expected expenses associated with closing the sale of a house. These costs are usually divided between the buyer and seller, as instructed in the sales contract.

Sellers: As we get through the details of your deal, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also push 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 what you're paying for.
Buyers: When buying real estate in Tallahassee, 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 past experiences and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not surprised when you arrive at the closing table. I'll be happy to go over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
