What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain ordinary expenses accompanying closing the sale of a house. These fees are often divided between the buyer and seller, as instructed in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Colorado to help show you through your transaction.

Sellers: As we hammer out your transaction, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When purchasing real estate in Boulder 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 an appropriate range so you're not astonished when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be glad to look at the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
