Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying real estate 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 past experiences and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not startled when you arrive at closing time. I'll be willing to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
