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

Buyers: If you're purchasing a house in SUFFIELD, you will get a "Good Faith Estimate" (GFE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's past experiences and is required to be within a suitable range so you're not stunned when you come to the closing table. I'll be willing to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
