Sellers: As we get through the details of your deal, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying a home in Wake County, you will receive 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 prior experience and is required to be within an acceptable range so you're not startled when you reach closing time. I'll be happy to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
