Expected closing costs

There are certain standard expenses related to closing the sale of a house. These expenses are commonly divided between the buyer and seller, as noted in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Florida to help lead you through the transaction.

Sellers: As we negotiate your deal, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you are buying a home in Desoto County, you'll 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 shocked when you come to the closing table. I'll be glad to go over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
