Expected closing costs

There are certain typical fees linked to closing the sale of a house. These fees are often divided between the buyer and seller, as dictated in the sales contract. Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Washington to help lead you through your deal.

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 reduced closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When purchasing a property in Pierce County, you will get 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 suitable range so you're not shocked when you show up at the closing appointment. I'll be glad to look through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
