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

Buyers: If you are buying real estate in Los Angeles County, you'll be given 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 reasonable range so you're not stunned when you reach closing time. I'll be glad to review the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
