Sellers: As we get through the details of your deal, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are buying a house in Bexar County, you'll 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 an appropriate range so you're not shocked when you reach the closing table. I'll be glad to look over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
