What are Closing Costs?

Certain standard costs are related to closing the sale of a house. Buyers and sellers usually share these closing costs, as the real estate sales contract specifies.

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

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Very soon after you submit your application, we'll provide you with a "Loan Estimate" of your closing costs. The closing costs spelled out in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on Firelight Mortgage Consultants's experience with mortgage loans, but costs often 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 can vary a little bit at the closing table.

Below you'll find a generic list of costs for buying a home. We will always provide you with a specific list of your closing costs when we provide your Loan Estimate.
