Certain standard costs are associated with closing the sale of a house. Buyers and sellers almost always split these closing costs, as the sales contract specifies.
As indicated below, many of the buyer's closing costs cover the costs of getting the mortgage loan. Since The Mortgage Exchange Service LLC is highly experienced with mortgages & closings, we are closing cost experts.
Buyers get a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The closing costs spelled out in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually change by small amounts between delivery of the LE and closing. We review LEs with buyers every day, so we will be happy to answer the you have about closing costs.
Below is a general list of closing costs. We will always provide a specific list of your closing costs when we give you a Loan Estimate.
