What closing costs should you expect?

There are certain standard costs related to closing the sale of a house. These fees are commonly split between the buyer and seller, as directed in the sales contract. Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Pennsylvania to help lead you through the deal.

Sellers: As we negotiate your transaction, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you are buying real estate in Erie 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 tolerable range so you're not astonished when you get to closing time. I'll be happy to look through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
