Closing costs you should expect

There are certain normal costs related to closing the sale of a house. These expenses are commonly divided between the buyer and seller, as spelled out in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Louisiana to help show you through the transaction.

Sellers: As we negotiate your deal, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're purchasing real estate in Lafayette County, you'll 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 reasonable range so you're not shocked when you arrive at the closing appointment. I'll be happy to review the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
