Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also push for reduced closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're purchasing a house 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 previous experience and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not shocked when you show up at the closing table. I'll be willing to look through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
