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

Buyers: When purchasing a home in Desoto 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 previous experience and is required to be within an acceptable range so you're not astonished when you show up at closing time. I'll be willing to look through the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem off.
