Sellers: As we hammer out your transaction, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also advocate for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When purchasing a property in Franklin County, you will get 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 stunned when you get to closing time. I'll be glad to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
