Anticipated closing costs

There are certain ordinary costs linked to closing the sale of a house. These costs are often 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 South Carolina to help lead you through the process.

Sellers: As we hammer out your transaction, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are purchasing a house in Lexington County, you'll 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 an appropriate range so you're not shocked when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be glad to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
