The Silbermans were introduced to me through a friend who needed to sell her home in a hurry and they got it sold in a weekend.Really Great!
I would definitely recommend Keith and Lauren Silberman. They worked really hard to help us close when we wanted to and the seller did not, and went far above and beyond our expectations.Sold in 7 Days!

Upfront Buying Expenses
Purchasing a home means making a major investment. Even before you close on your home, you will incur some expenses so you should make sure you have cash available to start the process.
The following represents an estimate of costs you will probably incur before you purchase your home. This is not intended to be all-inclusive but instead will give you an idea of some of the upfront costs you should expect. (This does not include lender closing costs or pre-paid costs such as taxes, insurance, and interest.)
| Loan Application | $200 - $300 |
| Earnest money deposit | Ranges from approx. $1000 to approx. 3% of purchase price of home. Applied to the purchase of your home at closing. |
| Appraisal |
$400 - $450 (service performed by a licensed or certified appraiser, who develops an opinion of value of the property) |
| Standard Home Inspection | $350 - $450 depending in the inspector |
| Termite/Wood infestation report | $45 - $125 depending on the company |
| Additional inspections | $100 - $500 (if you decide to further investigate a certain aspect of a home, you will likely hire another inspector, such as a structural engineer, radon inspector, or chimney inspector) |
