Don't Forget Closing Costs

"Closing Costs" are the fees that pay for various services involved in the sale of a home. Sellers & buyers negotiate the payment of these costs.

As indicated below, many of the costs result from getting your mortgage loan. At RTC Mortgage Corporation, we are highly experienced in residential mortgage lending, so we can provide you with a comprehensive list of mortgage-related costs in your "Loan Estimate".

Loan Estimate (Also known as the LE)

Buyers will get a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. We base this cost estimate on our extensive past experience. It's important to note that while our LEs are very precise, we cannot always estimate costs to the penny. We review Loan Estimates with buyers almost every day, so we'd be glad to answer any questions you have about closing costs.

Below is a fairly generic list of costs for buying a home. We will always provide you with a specific list of your closing costs when we give you a Loan Estimate.
