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

Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you are purchasing a property in 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 a reasonable range so you're not astonished when you arrive at the closing appointment. I'll be happy to look through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
