How do Closing Costs Work?

Every home sale incurs certain fixed costs. Sellers and buyers customarily share these costs, as the sales contract specifies.

As you'll see below, many of the buyer's closing costs are related to the costs of getting the mortgage loan. Since Americn Hero Mortgage is highly experienced with closings and mortgages, we are closing cost experts.

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Very shortly after you apply for a loan, we'll provide you with the "Loan Estimate" of your closing costs. The closing costs enumerated in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs often vary a little bit between the Loan Estimate (LE) and closing. We go over LEs with buyers almost every day, so we will be happy to answer any questions you have about closing costs.

We've provided a general list of closing costs below, but we will provide you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, very soon after you complete your application. At Americn Hero Mortgage, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we'll be sure to let you know immediately.
