"Closing Costs" are the fees which pay for the various services involved when you sell or buy a house. Sellers & buyers negotiate to decide how to split these closing costs.
Many of the costs associated with buying a house are associated with getting the mortgage loan. At American Commerce Mortgage, we have extensive experience in residential mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive report on costs related to your mortgage in your "Loan Estimate".
Soon after you submit your application, we will give you a "Loan Estimate" of your costs. The closing costs enumerated in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on American Commerce Mortgage's experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually change a little bit between the Loan Estimate (LE) and closing. We handle questions about these costs every day at American Commerce Mortgage, so don't hesitate to contact us if we can help answer your questions.
Below you'll find a fairly generic list of costs for buying residential real estate. We will always provide a specific list of your closing costs when we give you a Loan Estimate.
