Sellers: As we get through the details of your transaction, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're purchasing a home 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 previous experience and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not surprised when you come to the closing table. I'll be willing to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
