Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are purchasing 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 previous experience and is required to be within a suitable range so you're not surprised when you get to the closing table. I'll be happy to look through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
