I got off the phone explaining to a frustrated buyer what is closing cost. She was  because  no one had   taken he time to explain to her what fees  are include in  closing cost .

She was educator a teacher.  I proceed to explain to her closing cost was the cost associated with closing a loan. I told  her   take it from the perspective of homework ssign to her  students, all the components of homework for the students to complete .  Closing cost are all the components paid to close a real estate transaction.

The lender through out  astronomical figures on what the closing cost fees of loan would be.  My response to her is ask the lender to   explain  the range   of    the difference cost of the  fees associated   with closing a loan.  Then do a comparison between several lenders on the fees associated   with   closing   cost.

Some of the fees to close a loan are:Settlement Statement

Origination fee: 1%-1.2/%% average

Intangible taxes

Attorney fees: 450-650

Settlement Statement

Title Examination: $150-300

Owners Title Insurance

Lenders Title Insurance

Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) FHA loan

Flood Life

Tax Service Fee

An average closing cost in Georgia runs between 3%-3.5percent.

When you a buying a home asks the lender what there average closing cost fee is too closed on loan.They cannot give you a specific fee until you have executed sales contract. Fee on closing cost are  Higher on lower price loans those loan fewer than 85,000 could run up to 4.5% to close a loan. Happy House shopping.
