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 advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When purchasing a home in Broward 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 startled when you arrive at the closing appointment. I'll be happy to go through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
