Anticipated closing costs

Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in North Carolina to help show you through the deal.

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 reduced closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're buying a home in Watauga County, you'll 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 prior experience and is required to be within an appropriate range so you're not astonished when you arrive at closing time. I'll be happy to go over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
