Expected closing costs

There are certain standard costs associated with closing the sale of a house. These expenses 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 process.

Sellers: As we negotiate your deal, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for reduced closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying a house in Douglas County, you will 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 previous experience and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not astonished when you reach the closing table. I'll be happy to go over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
