Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also push for reduced closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When purchasing a home in Monterey County, you will be given 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 a suitable range so you're not stunned when you show up at closing time. I'll be willing to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
