The closing crunch

At last you've found your new home. It’s what you've always dreamed of. and it looks like you’ll be able to get your mortgage at a decent rate. Then, a few days before you sign the final papers, a letter comes from the broker. Inside, you find the statement of estimated closing costs. Suddenly. you’re staggered by items such as "points,” which cost SB6O. “finder’s fee” at $430, "appraisal fee,” for $75, ‘‘legal fees.” costing $250, plus a few hundred extra for mortgage insurance, transfer fees and title search. You realize that your dreamhouse is costng a nightmarish SI,BOO or so more than you thought — and you have three days to raise the cash. Calling the broker to protest, you find out that these additional costs are “not unusual.” "Didn’t we tell you about the closing costs?” the broker asks. “We assumed knew- about that sort of thing.” The broker is correct in saying that closing costs are not unusual. but wrong in “assuming” that the buyer would know about them. Closing a house sale can cost several hundred, even a few thousand dollars. There is no set rule on which items you pay or how much they may cost. In some cases the developer, the seller, the mortgage lender or the real estate broker will pay some of the closing costs. Although the broker should inform you about such costs before you sign the sales agreement, it is your responsibility to ask about them. Cost Factors Here are some costs to watch out for. Sane of these may be negotiable, which means you may save some money if you are alert and have a good attorney. Points — A “point” is one per

cent of the mortgage. If. for ’ example, you are borrowing from a savings and loan, and they offer you a $45,000 mortgage at nine per cent plus two points, you will jaay them S9OO at the closing plus ■'nine per cent interest on the -unpaid balance for the life of the matgage. Finder’s fees — This is money paid the real estate broker for finding your mortgage money. It’s usually one per cent of the matgage, but can be as high as two or three per cent, depending on your agreement with the broker This has nothing to do w ith what the lender charges you. Appraisal fee — Some brokers and lenders will charge for appraisal service, some will not. Make sure you're not paying for mae than one appraisal. Legal fees — It’s important to have an attorney represent you in the transaction to protect your interests. A person should have a lawyer not associated with the lender. Local bar associations will recommend a lawyer if a person doesn't have one. Fees vary and although many communities. counties and states place limits on namal real estate legal fees, be sure to ask the attaney what he will charge. Remember, the total down payment (less your deposit) plus all closing charges must be paid on the date the purchase is closed. Be sure you have enough money to meet these expenses If you don’t try to postpone the closing and make arrangements with the bank and the broker to borrow additional money. During the closing exercises, make sure you read a have your attaney explain each document you sign. All promises by the seller, the broker and the mortgage lender must be in writing. If you don’t understand something, ask!

Keep a copy of every document you sign, even after you receive the final warranty deed to the property. You’ll need all those papers for tax purposes, and if you resell the property.
