Sellers: As we hammer out your deal, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you are buying a house in Maricopa 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 previous experience and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not shocked when you show up at the closing appointment. I'll be glad to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
