Sellers: As we get through the details of your transaction, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying a house in Watauga 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 an acceptable range so you're not astonished when you get to closing time. I'll be happy to look through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
