Sellers: As we negotiate your transaction, not only will we work to get the highest sales price, but we'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, we'll fully clarify the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying a house in Hanover Park, you'll receive 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 an acceptable range so you're not startled when you arrive at the closing appointment. We'll be glad to go through the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
