Sellers: As we get through the details of your transaction, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also advocate for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.
Buyers: If you are buying a property in Alameda County, you will be given a "Loan Estimate" (LE) 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 an appropriate range so you're not startled when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be happy to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary. /Apps/Forms/LeadFormViewer.aspx?FormID=49657&GroupID=830317&PageName=ClosingCosts&AWSAccountPageID=72280752&NotificationEmail=
