All residential real estate sales incurs certain fixed costs. Sellers and buyers almost always share these closing costs, as the real estate sales contract specifies.
As you'll see below, many of the costs result from getting your loan. At Yamini Patel, we have extensive experience in mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive list of mortgage-related closing costs in your "Loan Estimate".
Very shortly after you submit your application, we'll provide you with a "Loan Estimate" of your costs. The closing costs specified in the LE are estimated based on Yamini Patel's experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually change a little bit between the LE and closing. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering questions and pointing out costs that can change slightly at the closing table.
