Anticipated closing costs

There are certain normal expenses accompanying closing the sale of a house. These expenses are commonly split between the buyer and seller, as instructed in the sales contract. Many are customary, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Massachusetts to help guide you through your process.

Sellers: As we negotiate 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 describe in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When purchasing a house in Bristol County, you'll 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 past experiences and is required to be within an acceptable range so you're not surprised when you come to the closing appointment. I'll be happy to go over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
