Your Closing Costs
Certain standard costs are related to closing the sale of a house. Sellers and buyers customarily share these costs, as the sales contract specifies.
Many of the costs associated with buying a home are associated with getting a loan. Since Family Mortgage Company of Hawaii, Inc. NMLS #244497 is highly experienced with mortgages & closings, we are closing cost experts.
Loan Estimates (LEs)
Buyers will get a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs at the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. The closing costs enumerated in the Loan Estimate are estimated based on our experience with mortgage loans, but costs usually vary a little bit between the Loan Estimate (LE) and closing. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering your questions and pointing out costs that can vary a little bit at closing.
Below you'll find a fairly generic list of costs for buying residential real estate. We will provide you with a specific list of your closing costs when we deliver your Loan Estimate.
