About Closing Costs

All residential real estate transactions involves certain fixed costs. Buyers and sellers almost always share these closing costs, as the sales contract specifies.

As indicated below, many of the costs result from getting your mortgage loan. At Americn Hero Mortgage, we have extensive experience in residential mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive list of closing costs related to your mortgage in your "Loan Estimate".

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Soon after you submit your application, we will provide you with the "Loan Estimate" of your costs. The closing costs spelled out in the LE are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually vary a little bit between delivery of the Loan Estimate (LE) and closing. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering questions and highlighting costs that sometimes vary a little bit at closing.
