Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are buying a property in Nassau 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 startled when you arrive at closing time. I'll be happy to look through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
