Closing Costs

There are certain standard costs associated with closing the sale of a house. These fees are split between the buyer and the seller, as spelled out in the Purchase Contract.

As I negotiate the sales contract for you, I will not only work to get the sales price you want, I will also work to limit the number of closing costs for which you will be responsible.

I will walk you through the closing costs, answering any questions you may have explaining which costs are decreed by law to be yours and which are negotiable.

Good Faith Estimate

Buyers will receive a "Good Faith Estimate" of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The estimate is based on the loan officer's past experience and may not include all the closing costs. I will be glad to review the "Good Faith Estimate," answering questions and highlighting missing costs and estimates I believe to be low.

 In addition, Ferrari Pacific Realty will assist you in acquiring and reviewing Lender's Estimated Cost Sheets prior to you actually applying for a loan.  The lenders we work with regularly will provide this form for you so that you can compare costs before committing to a loan.  We'll also go over the other costs that will come up prior to closing so you have no surprises when it comes time to finalize your purchase.
