Sellers: As we hammer out your sale, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying real estate in Davidson 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 prior 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 willing to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
