How do Closing Costs Work?

"Closing Costs" are the fees which pay for the various services involved in the sale of a home. Buyers and sellers almost always negotiate these costs.

Many of the costs associated with buying residential real estate are associated with getting a mortgage loan. Since Foxfield Financial has extensive experience with closings and mortgages, we are closing cost experts.

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Buyers will get a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs around the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The closing costs spelled out in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually vary by small amounts between delivery of the Loan Estimate (LE) and closing. We answer questions about these costs every day at Foxfield Financial, so please feel free to ask if we can help answer your questions.

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