Sellers: As we negotiate your sale, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for reduced closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're purchasing real estate in Pierce County, you will get 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 stunned when you show up at closing time. I'll be happy to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
