Sellers: As we get through the details of 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 come to an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying a home in Washington County, you'll 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 prior experience and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not stunned when you come to the closing appointment. I'll be glad to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
