FAQ’s

Typical closing costs for buying a home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast can include depending on the purchase/sale, the following:

  • Interest from the date of closing to the end of the month or the following month.
  • Estimated property taxes (only if you want the lender to pay)
  • Property insurance
  • Closing costs (fees for the paperwork, filing, disbursement of funds)
  • Origination fees on your loan
  • Title insurance
  • Fees agreed to by both parties e.g. terminate inspection etc.
  • Real estate agent commission
  • Amounts promised by seller to make repairs etc.
  • Filing fees (any fees charged by the County to file deeds)
  • Wiring and overnight delivery fees
  • Other fees specific to this transaction

Please read my article about closing costs that explains what they are and who pays and receives the funds. Even with a zero down payment loan there are closing costs some of which may be folded into the loan. You will receive a closing cost estimate before closing. Feel free to ask about the costs, some may be optional.
