Closing on a home loan can feel like stepping into the unknown. But what if you could ditch the guesswork and approach closing with confidence? That's where the Loan Estimate comes in!

Your Loan Estimate: A Roadmap to Closing

A Loan Estimate is a standardized form that provides a clear breakdown of the key details about your mortgage loan. It empowers you to understand the estimated costs involved, so you can avoid surprises at closing.

What's Included in a Loan Estimate?

  • Loan Amount: This is the total amount you'll be borrowing.
  • Interest Rate: This is the annual percentage rate (APR) you'll be paying on the loan.
  • Estimated Closing Costs: This section outlines the estimated fees associated with your loan, such as origination fees, appraisal fees, and title insurance.
  • Monthly Payment: This shows your projected monthly mortgage payment based on the loan amount, interest rate, and estimated closing costs.
