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

Buyers: If you are buying real estate in Bexar County, you will get a "Loan Estimate" (LE) 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 a reasonable range so you're not surprised when you reach closing time. I'll be happy to go through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
