How do Closing Costs Work?

Every home sale incurs costs. Sellers and buyers customarily share these costs, as specified in the sales contract.

As you'll see below, many of the buyer's closing costs are related to the costs of originating the loan. Since Americn Hero Mortgage has extensive experience with closings & mortgages, we can help you understand your closing costs.

The Loan Estimate (LE)

Soon after you submit your application, we'll provide you with a "Loan Estimate" of your costs. The closing costs enumerated in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on Americn Hero Mortgage's experience with mortgage loans, but costs often change by small amounts between the LE and closing. We go over LEs with buyers every day, so we will be happy 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 have completed your application. At Americn Hero Mortgage, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we will be sure to let you know immediately.
