Sellers: As we hammer out your deal, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also advocate for reduced closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When purchasing a house in Bexar County, you will be given a "Loan Estimate" (LE) 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 an acceptable range so you're not surprised when you get to closing time. I'll be happy to go over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
