Closing costs you should expect

There are certain basic fees accompanying closing the sale of a house. These fees are usually divided between the buyer and seller, as dictated in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Michigan to help lead you through your process.

Sellers: As we hammer out your transaction, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you are buying a house in Oakland County, you'll 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 prior experience and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not stunned when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be happy to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
