Sellers: Revolution Realty Realtors will not only strive to get the best sales price, but we will also advocate for lower closing costs.
Buyers: If you are buying real estate, you will receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) of closing costs prior to your closing. The estimate will be based on the loan officer’s experience and is required to be within an acceptable range so you are not surprised when you get to the closing. We will be glad to review the GFE with you, answering questions and highlighting any expenses that appear to be out of the ordinary.
