Expected closing costs

There are certain ordinary expenses accompanying closing the sale of a house. These costs are usually split between the buyer and seller, as dictated 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 show you through the deal.

Sellers: As we negotiate your transaction, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate for reduced closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Angeles County, you'll 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 previous experience and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not surprised when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be glad to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
