Expected closing costs

There are certain ordinary fees associated with closing the sale of a house. These costs are often split between the buyer and seller, as instructed in the sales contract. Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in South Carolina to help guide you through the transaction.

Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for limited closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're purchasing real estate in Lexington County, you'll 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 previous experience and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not shocked when you come to the closing appointment. I'll be happy to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
