Certain standard costs are related to closing the sale of a house. Sellers and buyers customarily share these closing costs, as specified in the sales contract.
As indicated below, many of the closing costs result from getting your mortgage. Since Community Trust Lending Team at Norcom Mortgage-NMLS ID#71655 has extensive experience with mortgages & closings, we are closing cost experts.
Loan Estimates (LEs)
Buyers get a “Loan Estimate” of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The closing costs spelled out in the LE are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually change by small amounts between delivery of the Loan Estimate (LE) and closing. We answer questions about these costs every day at Community Trust Lending Team at Norcom Mortgage-NMLS ID#71655, so don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
We’ve provided a general list of these costs below, but we will give you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, very soon after you complete your application. At Community Trust Lending Team at Norcom Mortgage-NMLS ID#71655, we don’t believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we’ll be sure to let you know immediately.
