Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also push for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.
Buyers: When purchasing a home in Guam County, you'll be given 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 suitable range so you're not startled when you show up at the closing table. I'll be happy to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
