Anticipated closing costs

There are certain basic costs associated with closing the sale of a house. These expenses are commonly split between the buyer and seller, as directed 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 the deal.

Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, 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 arrived at an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are buying a house in Pinellas 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 prior experience and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not astonished when you arrive at closing time. I'll be glad to go through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
