Closing Costs for Residential Real Estate Transactions

"Closing Costs" are the fees that cover various services involved in the sale of residential real estate. Sellers and buyers often negotiate to determine who will pay different portions of these costs.

Many of the closing costs associated with buying a house are associated with getting a mortgage. At Nationwide Home Loans, we have extensive experience in mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive report on mortgage-related costs in your "Loan Estimate".

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Very shortly after you submit your application, we'll provide you with a "Loan Estimate" of your closing costs. The closing costs enumerated in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually change by small amounts between the LE and closing. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering questions and highlighting costs that sometimes vary a little bit at closing.

Below is a fairly generic list of closing costs. We will provide you with a specific list of your closing costs when we give you a Loan Estimate.
