Sample Good Faith Estimate of Closing Costs
HSH notation: By law, your lender or mortgage broker must provide you this Good Faith Estimate of Closing costs within three days of the date you applied for a mortgage. Not all of the fees listed may apply to your loan, and the dollar amounts listed for those which do are only estimates and may vary, depending upon the particulars of your loan.
HSH notation: If you have applied for a mortgage through a mortgage broker who will then show around for a deal for you, you won't see a lender name listed, but instead will see the following, either printed or checked off: This Good Faith Estimate is being provided by [broker name], a mortgage broker, and no lender has yet been obtained. The information provided below reflects estimates of the charges which you are likely to incur at the settlement of your loan. The fees listed are estimates -- the actual charges may be mor or less. Your transaction may not involve a fee for every item listed. The numbers listed beside the estimates generally correspond to the numbered lines contained in the HUD-1 settlement statement (purchase transactions) or HUD-1A (refinance or home equity loan transactions) that you will be receiving at settlement. The HUD-1 or HUD-1A settlement statement will show you the final, actual cost for items paid at settlement. |
