Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Macon 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 past experiences and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not astonished when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be willing to go over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
