Closing costs you should expect

There are certain basic costs accompanying closing the sale of a house. These fees are often split 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 Texas to help lead you through the deal.

Sellers: As we get through the details of your transaction, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate 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 what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you are purchasing real estate in Tarrant County, you will get 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 astonished when you show up at the closing table. I'll be glad to look through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
