About Closing Costs

There are certain standard costs related to closing the sale of a home. Buyers and sellers customarily share these closing costs, as the sales contract specifies.

Many of the closing costs associated with buying residential real estate are associated with getting a mortgage loan. At Pacificwide Lending, we have extensive experience in residential mortgage lending, so we can compile a comprehensive report on mortgage-related closing costs in your "Loan Estimate".

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Very soon after you submit your application, we will provide you with the "Loan Estimate" of your closing costs. The closing costs specified in the LE are estimated based on Pacificwide Lending's experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually change by small amounts between delivery of the LE and closing. We review Loan Estimates with buyers every day, so we will be happy to answer your questions about closing costs.

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