Broward County Closing Costs - Who Pays? Maybe Not You.

View of Fort Lauderdale Condos

With the Florida real estate market being tight and getting tighter across the country, looks like banks may be thinking about new ways to get deals done - like paying for closing costs in home loans.

Whether or not the lender offers to pay closing costs and then just ups the mortgage interest rate, well that's another matter.  And just one more reason to have a Florida closing attorney by your side at the closing table (and before, when all the bickering about what goes into the closing documents gets ironed out).

My point:  maybe the bank will pay your closing costs if you're buying a home or condo in Florida, particularly here in Broward County.  It's worth negotiating.
