How do Closing Costs Work?

Every home sale incurs fixed costs. Sellers and buyers customarily split these closing costs, as the real estate sales contract specifies.

As you'll see below, many of the buyer's closing costs cover the costs of originating the mortgage loan. Since Firelight Mortgage Consultants has extensive experience with closings & mortgages, we are closing cost experts.

Loan Estimate (Also known as the LE)

Very soon after you submit your application, we will provide you with a "Loan Estimate" of your costs. The closing cost estimate is based on our past experience. Please note that while our LEs are very precise, we cannot always predict your closing costs to the penny. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering your questions and pointing out costs that sometimes change slightly at closing.

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