Closing Costs

Understanding Closing Costs: A Guide to Mortgage Fees and Expenses

Loan Estimates

A loan estimate is a standardized document provided by one of our experienced lenders which details the estimated costs and terms of a mortgage, including interest rate, monthly payment, closing costs, property taxes, and homeowners insurance. The Loan Estimate helps borrowers understand the financial implications of their mortgage and allows them to make informed decisions regarding which loan is best for them.
