Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're purchasing a house in Bexar County, you will 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 acceptable range so you're not astonished when you come to closing time. I'll be glad to look over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
