Expected closing costs

Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also advocate for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're purchasing a house in Hillsborough County, you will get a "Loan Estimate" (LE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's previous experience and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not startled when you get to closing time. I'll be willing to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
