Your Closing Costs
All residential real estate transactions incurs certain fixed costs. Sellers and buyers almost always split these 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 America's Money Source has extensive experience with mortgages and closings, we are closing cost experts.
Loan Estimates (LEs)
Soon after you apply for a loan, we will provide you with the "Loan Estimate" of your costs. The closing costs spelled out 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 go over LEs with buyers every day, so we will be happy to answer your questions about closing costs.
We've provided a general list of these costs below, but we'll give you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, soon after you complete your application. At America's Money Source, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we'll be sure to let you know immediately.
