Sellers: As we hammer out your deal, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Buyers: If you are purchasing real estate in Lake 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 past experiences and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not surprised when you come to the closing table. I'll be happy to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
