Sellers: As we hammer out your transaction, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for limited closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're purchasing a house in Pierce County, you'll receive 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 suitable range so you're not astonished when you arrive at the closing appointment. I'll be glad to go over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
