Sellers: As we get through the details of your deal, not only will I work to get the optimal 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 are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you are buying a property 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 past experiences and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not astonished when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be willing to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
