Sellers: As we negotiate your transaction, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also push for lower 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 purchasing a property 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 past experiences and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not surprised when you arrive at the closing table. I'll be happy to go over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
