Sellers: As we negotiate your transaction, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for lower 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: When buying a house in Bexar County, you will receive 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 suitable range so you're not shocked when you reach closing time. I'll be happy to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
