Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also advocate for limited closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're purchasing a home in Watauga County, you will be given 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 astonished when you come to the closing appointment. I'll be glad to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
