Closing Costs for Home Real Estate Transactions

Every home sale incurs certain fixed costs. Sellers and buyers usually share these closing costs, as specified in the real estate sales contract.

As you'll see below, many of the closing costs result from getting your loan. At Riviera Funding, we are highly experienced in residential mortgage lending, so we can compile a comprehensive list of mortgage-related closing costs in your "Loan Estimate".

The Loan Estimate (LE)

Soon after you apply for a loan, we'll provide you with a "Loan Estimate" of your closing costs. This cost estimate comes out of the loan officer's past experience. It's important to note that while our LEs are very precise, we cannot always estimate closing costs to the penny. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering questions and pointing out costs that can vary a little bit at closing.

Below is a general list of closing costs. We will provide you with a specific list of your closing costs when we deliver your Loan Estimate.
