Don't Forget Closing Costs

"Closing Costs" are the fees which pay for various services involved in the sale of residential real estate. Sellers & buyers usually negotiate to determine who will pay different portions of these closing costs.

Many of the closing costs associated with buying a home are associated with getting a mortgage loan. Since First Southeast Mortgage Corporation has extensive experience with mortgages and closings, we are closing cost experts.

The Loan Estimate (LE)

Very shortly after you apply for a loan, we'll provide you with the "Loan Estimate" of your closing costs. This closing cost estimate is based on our past experience. Please note that while our LEs are very accurate, we can't always estimate closing costs to the penny. We go over LEs with buyers every day, so we are happy to answer the you have about closing costs.
