Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're buying a house 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 previous experience and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not shocked when you come to closing time. I'll be happy to go through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
