Sellers: As we negotiate your transaction, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying a house in Saint Louis 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 previous experience and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not startled when you come to closing time. I'll be happy to review the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
