What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain typical costs linked to closing the sale of a house. These costs are usually split 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 Washington to help lead you through the process.

Sellers: As we negotiate your deal, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Grant County, you'll receive 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 reasonable range so you're not surprised when you arrive at the closing table. I'll be glad to go over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
