Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for reduced closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you are aware of 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 past experiences and is required to be within an acceptable range so you're not astonished when you arrive at closing time. I'll be glad to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
