Sellers: As we hammer out your transaction, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate for reduced closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying real estate in Benton 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 suitable range so you're not startled when you arrive at the closing appointment. I'll be willing to go over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
