Every home sale involves certain fixed costs. Buyers and sellers usually split these closing costs, as specified in the real estate sales contract.
Many of the costs associated with buying a home are associated with getting a mortgage loan. At Metro Mortgage, we are highly experienced in mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive list of closing costs related to your mortgage in your "Loan Estimate".
Soon after you submit your application, we will give you the "Loan Estimate" of your costs. The closing costs spelled out in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on Metro Mortgage's experience with mortgage loans, but costs often vary by small amounts between delivery of the Loan Estimate (LE) and closing. We go over Loan Estimates with buyers every day, so we'd be glad to answer any questions you have about closing costs.
