Anticipated closing costs

There are certain ordinary fees associated with closing the sale of a house. These fees are usually split between the buyer and seller, as noted in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in Louisiana to help show you through the transaction.

Sellers: As we negotiate your transaction, I'll not only work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also campaign for limited closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll walk you through the closing costs so you know exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: When buying a house in Ascension Parish County, you'll 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 previous experience and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not stunned when you come to closing time. I'll be willing to look at the LE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates of concern.
