Our closing costs for real estate closings as set out herein is provided to you as an estimate only. With third party service providers increasing their prices at short notice or with no notice, it has become quasi-impossible for us to give you the usual "all inclusive" pricing for a real estate closing. Nevertheless, as usual, we endeavor to work with you to keep closing costs as reasonable as possible.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation
