Closing costs you should expect

There are certain normal costs associated with closing the sale of a house. These fees are usually divided between the buyer and seller, as spelled out in the sales contract. Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in California to help guide you through your deal.

Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate for reduced closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When purchasing real estate in Santa Barbara 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 tolerable range so you're not surprised when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be willing to review the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
