Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Virginia to help show you through your process.

Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying real estate in Staunton City County, you will 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 stunned when you get to closing time. I'll be glad to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
