Sellers: As we hammer out your transaction, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for reduced closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll explain in detail the closing costs so you are aware of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Anne Arundel County, you'll 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 appropriate range so you're not surprised when you get to closing time. I'll be happy to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem unusual.
