Sellers: As we hammer out your deal, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll fully clarify the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you are purchasing a property in Anne Arundel 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 an appropriate range so you're not startled when you come to the closing appointment. I'll be happy to look over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
