Sellers: As we negotiate your deal, I'll not only work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for lower closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you are informed of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: If you're buying real estate in Wake 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 past experiences and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not astonished when you reach the closing table. I'll be glad to look over the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
