Your Closing Costs

All residential real estate sales involves certain fixed costs. Buyers and sellers customarily split these costs, as specified in the sales contract.

Many of the closing costs associated with buying residential real estate are associated with getting the mortgage loan. Since Family Mortgage Company of Hawaii, Inc. NMLS #244497 has extensive experience with closings & mortgages, we are closing cost experts.

The Loan Estimate (Also known as the LE)

Buyers get a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs around the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The closing costs specified in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on Family Mortgage Company of Hawaii, Inc. NMLS #244497's 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 change slightly at closing.

We've provided a general list of closing costs below, but we'll provide you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, very soon after you complete your loan application. At Family Mortgage Company of Hawaii, Inc. NMLS #244497, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we will be sure to let you know immediately.
