All residential real estate transactions involves certain costs. Sellers and buyers almost always split these closing costs, as specified in the sales contract.
Many of the costs associated with buying a house are associated with getting the mortgage. At Abbey Mortgage, we are highly experienced in residential mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive report on closing costs related to your mortgage in your "Loan Estimate".
Buyers get a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The closing cost estimate comes out of the loan officer's past experience. It's important to note that while our LEs are very accurate, we can't always estimate your costs to the penny. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering your questions and highlighting costs that can change slightly at the closing table.
We've provided a general list of closing costs below, but we'll give you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, soon after you have completed your application. At Abbey Mortgage, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we will be sure to let you know immediately.
