What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain standard costs associated with closing the sale of a house. These expenses are commonly split between the buyer and seller, as directed in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Missouri to help show you through the process.

Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are purchasing a home in Taney County, you'll 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 appropriate range so you're not surprised when you arrive at the closing table. I'll be glad to review the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
