Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Tennessee to help guide you through your transaction.

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

Buyers: When purchasing a property in Davidson 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 startled when you arrive at the closing table. I'll be glad to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
