Sellers: As we get through the details of your deal, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for reduced closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying real estate in Bexar County, you'll get a "Loan Estimate" (LE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application.
