What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain normal expenses related to closing the sale of a house. These expenses are usually divided between the buyer and seller, as spelled out in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in California to help lead you through your deal.

Sellers: As we get through the details of your deal, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are buying real estate in San Diego County, you will 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 prior experience and is required to be within a suitable range so you're not astonished when you arrive at the closing appointment. I'll be willing to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
