Sellers: As we get through the details of your sale, not only will I work to get the optimal sales price, but I'll also campaign for reduced closing costs. And once we've come to an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When purchasing real estate in Ascension Parish County, you'll receive a "Loan Estimate" (LE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application.
