Default Re: Buying New or Resale????

When we close on a home here in Indiana, we get a document called a "Good Faith Estimate" of closing costs and charges that we will be paying at closing. Everyone understands that the estimated amount may vary a little but generally there are no big surprises. In the last 35 years we have bought 7 new homes and were furnished with this type document prior to every closing. Does Florida have something similar to the good faith estimate? Some of the posts here would lead one to think that there will be several unpleasant surprises at closing.
