"Closing Costs" are the fees which cover the various services involved when you sell or buy a house. Sellers & buyers often negotiate to determine who will pay different portions of these costs.
Many of the closing costs associated with buying residential real estate are associated with getting a loan. Since Secure Mortgage Company has extensive experience with mortgages and closings, we often explain the details of closing costs.
Soon after you submit your application, we'll give you the "Loan Estimate" of your closing costs. We base this cost estimate on our extensive past experience. Please note that while our LEs are very accurate, we can't always estimate your costs to the penny. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering your questions and pointing out costs that can change slightly at the closing table.
Below is 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.
