About Closing Costs

"Closing Costs" are the fees that pay for the various services involved when you sell or buy residential real estate. Sellers & buyers negotiate to determine who will pay different portions of these costs.

Many of the closing costs associated with buying a house are associated with getting the mortgage loan. Since Triumph Mortgage Inc is highly experienced with mortgages and closings, we can help you understand your closing costs.

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. This closing cost estimate comes out of the loan officer's past experience. Please note that while our LEs are very accurate, we cannot always estimate your costs to the penny. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering your questions and highlighting costs that can change slightly at closing.

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