Closing Costs for Residential Real Estate Transactions

"Closing Costs" are the fees which cover various services involved when you sell or buy a house. Buyers & sellers often negotiate to decide how to split these closing costs.

As you'll see below, many of the costs result from getting your loan. Since MortgageZ LLC is highly experienced with closings & mortgages, we can help you understand your closing costs.

Loan Estimate (LE)

Soon after you apply for a loan, we will give you a "Loan Estimate" of your costs. This closing cost estimate is based on our past experience. Please note that while our LEs are very accurate, we can't always estimate closing costs to the penny. We go over Loan Estimates with buyers almost every day, so we'd be glad to answer your questions about closing costs.

Below is a general list of costs for buying residential real estate. We will provide a specific list of your closing costs when we give you a Loan Estimate.
