What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain basic fees associated with closing the sale of a house. These costs are often divided between the buyer and seller, as spelled out in the sales contract. Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Texas to help guide you through the transaction.

Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying a property 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 a reasonable range so you're not surprised when you show up at the closing table. I'll be glad to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
