Closing Costs for Residential Real Estate Transactions

There are certain standard costs associated with closing the sale of a home. Sellers and buyers customarily share these costs, as specified in the sales contract.

As indicated below, many of the buyer's closing costs cover the costs of originating the mortgage loan. At RTC Mortgage Corporation, we are highly experienced in mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive report on mortgage-related closing costs in your "Loan Estimate".

Loan Estimates (LEs)

Buyers will receive 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. Please note that while our LEs are very accurate, we cannot always predict costs to the penny. We review LEs with buyers every day, so we'd be glad to answer your questions about closing costs.

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