What are Closing Costs?

"Closing Costs" are the fees which cover the various services involved in the sale of a home. Sellers & buyers usually negotiate the payment of these closing costs.

Many of the costs associated with buying a home are associated with getting the mortgage loan. Since Pacificwide Lending has extensive experience with closings & mortgages, we are closing cost experts.

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Buyers will receive a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The closing costs enumerated in the LE are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually vary a little bit between the LE and closing. We go over LEs with buyers every day, so we'd be glad to answer your questions about closing costs.

We've provided a general list of closing costs below, but we'll provide you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, soon after you complete your loan application. At Pacificwide Lending, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we will be sure to let you know immediately.
