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 where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying real estate 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 previous experience and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not surprised when you come to the closing table. I'll be willing to go over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
