Anticipated closing costs

There are certain ordinary expenses associated with closing the sale of a house. These fees are commonly divided between the buyer and seller, as dictated in the sales contract. Many are conventional, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in North Carolina to help show you through the process.

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 reduced closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying a house 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 past experiences and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not shocked when you show up at the closing appointment. I'll be willing to go over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
