"Closing Costs" are the fees that cover the various services involved when you sell or buy a house. Sellers & buyers usually negotiate to determine who will pay different portions of these closing costs.
Many of the closing costs associated with buying a house are associated with getting a loan. At Yamini Patel, we are highly experienced in residential mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive list of mortgage-related costs in your "Loan Estimate".
Very soon after you submit your application, we will give you a "Loan Estimate" of your closing costs. This closing cost estimate is based on the loan officer's past experience. It's important to note that while our LEs are very accurate, we cannot always estimate your closing costs to the penny. We handle buyers' questions about these costs every day at Yamini Patel, so please feel free to ask if you have questions.
We've provided a general list of closing costs below, but we will provide you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, soon after you have completed your loan application. At Yamini Patel, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we'll be sure to let you know immediately.
