Sellers: As we get through the details of your transaction, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are purchasing a home in Orleans County, you will receive 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 suitable range so you're not surprised when you show up at the closing table. I'll be happy to look through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
