Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also push for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When purchasing real estate in Snohomish County, you will get 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 an appropriate range so you're not startled when you show up at the closing table. I'll be happy to review the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates in question.
