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

Buyers: When purchasing a property in Travis County, you will receive 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 a tolerable range so you're not startled when you show up at closing time. I'll be willing to review the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
