Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also advocate for reduced closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Washington County, you'll get a "Loan Estimate" (LE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's prior experience and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not startled when you come to closing time. I'll be glad to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
