Sellers: As we negotiate your deal, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Hartford County, you'll get a "Loan Estimate" (LE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's past experiences and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not surprised when you show up at the closing table. I'll be happy to look over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
