"Closing Costs" are the fees which pay for various services involved when you sell or buy a house. Sellers and buyers usually negotiate the payment of these closing costs.
As indicated below, many of the closing costs result from getting your mortgage loan. At Firelight Mortgage Consultants, we have extensive experience in mortgage lending, so we can compile a comprehensive list of closing costs related to your mortgage in your "Loan Estimate".
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 vary a little bit between delivery of the Loan Estimate (LE) and closing. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering your questions and pointing out costs that sometimes change slightly at the closing table.
We've provided a general list of these costs below, but we'll provide you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, very soon after you complete your application. At Firelight Mortgage Consultants, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we'll be sure to let you know immediately.
