Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also advocate for reduced closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll give a detailed list of the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.



Buyers: If you're buying a house in Brunswick County, you'll 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 past experiences and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not surprised when you get to the closing table. I'll be glad to look through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
