Closing costs you should expect

Many are customary, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Minnesota to help guide you through the deal.

Sellers: As we get through the details of your transaction, I'll not only 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 fully clarify the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When purchasing real estate in Minnesota 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 previous experience and is required to be within an acceptable range so you're not astonished when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be happy to look at the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
