Sellers: As we hammer out your deal, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also push for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying a home in Bexar County, you will receive 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 an appropriate range so you're not startled when you reach the closing table. I'll be happy to look through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
