Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for reduced closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are buying real estate 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 come to the closing table. I'll be glad to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
