Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, we'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but we'll also advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, we'll fully clarify the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying a house in Austin, you will receive a "Loan Estimate" (LE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application and a "Closing Disclosure" no fewer than three days prior to closing. These estimates are based on the loan officer's prior experience and are required to be within an acceptable range so you're not astonished when you reach closing time. We'll be glad to go over the estimate with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
