Sellers: As we negotiate your deal, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're purchasing real estate in Anne Arundel County, you will be given 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 stunned when you get to closing time. I'll be willing to look through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
