Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for reduced closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying real estate in Washington County, you will receive a "Loan Estimate" (LE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's past experiences and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not stunned when you reach the closing table. I'll be glad to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
