Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, not only will we work to get the very best sales price, but we'll also advocate for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, we'll fully explain the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying a house in Central Ohio, you'll 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 previous experience and is required to be within a suitable range so you're not surprised when you arrive at the closing table. We'll be willing to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
