How do Closing Costs Work?

"Closing Costs" are the fees which pay for various services involved when you sell or buy a home. Sellers & buyers almost always negotiate these costs.

Many of the closing costs associated with buying a house are associated with getting the loan. Since Firelight Mortgage Consultants has extensive experience with closings and mortgages, we are closing cost experts.

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Buyers will get a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The closing costs specified in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs often change a little bit between the 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 closing costs below, but we will give you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, very soon after you have completed your loan application. At Firelight Mortgage Consultants, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we will be sure to let you know immediately.
