Lender closing costs.
Paid by the lender.
Instead of promising to make every expense at closing disappear, we focus on the mortgage costs the lender can actually control.
- Complete one mortgage application and credit report.
- We compare options from more than 100 mortgage lenders.
- Eligible lender-related closing costs can be paid by the lender.
- One mortgage company from application through closing.
We separate lender costs from the costs nobody can honestly make disappear.
A mortgage closing can include lender charges, third-party charges, taxes, insurance, prepaid interest and escrow deposits. Our no-closing-cost option is designed around lender-related costs — not a giant lender credit intended to pay every expense on the closing statement.
- Lender underwriting charges, when applicable
- Lender administrative or processing charges, when applicable
- Mortgage broker compensation on a lender-paid option
- Other eligible lender-controlled charges supported by loan pricing
- Property taxes and tax escrows
- Homeowners insurance and insurance escrows
- Prepaid interest
- Title, settlement and other third-party service charges
- Recording, transfer, mortgage or other government taxes and fees
- Optional discount points chosen to buy down the interest rate
Lower cash at closing or a lower rate?
Lender-paid costs can affect mortgage pricing. Depending on your loan, you may prefer the no-lender-closing-cost option or a lower-rate option with more costs paid upfront. We can compare the tradeoff and let you decide.
No lender closing cost option
Use lender-paid compensation and/or lender credits to reduce eligible lender-related charges due from you at closing. This option may carry a higher interest rate than an otherwise available borrower-paid alternative.
Lower-rate option
Choose a lower available rate when it makes more sense, even if that means paying more of the applicable mortgage costs upfront. The better choice depends on your loan size, goals and how long you expect to keep the mortgage.
