The Process

  Bring Picture ID page top
  Every borrower involved in the mortgage refinance transaction will be required to show valid picture identification for the closing to take place. This is done to help prevent fraudulent transactions from taking place.

  Bring Good Funds page top
  The funds required at the closing need to be in "Good Funds." A personal check will not be accepted at a refinance closing. The most common methods are to bring certified funds or to have the funds wired to a trust account at the place of closing.

  Sign Documents page top
  At the closing there will many documents to sign. Among these will be the mortgage, note and other documents to be recorded; disclosures from the lender and legally required disclosures. There will be at least one duplicate package of all the documents to sign. The borrower should receive a duplicate documents package. At myClosingSPACE.com these documents are available for you to securely view online at anytime.


The Fees

This section is designed to assist with the calculation of the financial terms of the closing as well as the funds that may be due at the closing table.

  Total Loan Amount page top
  This is the total loan amount of the refinance transaction including any fees that may be rolled into the new loan. It may also be referred to as the “face value” of the new mortgage.

  Total Estimated Closing Costs page top
  This is a total of all estimated closing costs listed above - (Title Insurance, Settlement Services, Transaction Taxes, Recording Fees, etc). Since closing costs are often included in the loan amount this amount may not be the dollar amount to be brought to closing.

  Closing Escrows & Prepaids page top
  These are funds that are collected by a lender to establish the escrow account (held by a third party on behalf of a party or parties to a transaction) for the new loan. This is done to allow for timely payment of certain taxes and insurance that may be due for the current period or before the escrow account can be sufficiently funded by the regular loan payments.

  Property Taxes page top
  Real Estate taxes are generally due at fixed periods throughout the year. In order to establish the escrow account for the new loan with sufficient funds to make the current or next period’s payment, the lender will collect an average of 3-6 months property taxes at the closing.

  Homeowners Insurance page top
  The Homeowner’s insurance premium is often paid through the escrow account of the new loan. In order to establish the escrow account for the new loan with sufficient funds to pay the homeowner’s insurance premium when it comes due, the lender will collect an average of 3-6 months homeowner’s insurance premium at the closing.

  Total Payoffs page top
  This is the total of all amounts paid out of the proceeds of the loan to satisfy any existing loans, liens or items required by the lender to be paid and satisfied at closing.

  Mortgages page top
 

First Mortgage:

The payoff amount for the outstanding balance of the first mortgage to be paid and satisfied based on a valid payoff quote issued by the first mortgage lender. It will usually differ from the amount of the last mortgage statement since it is calculated to the day the loan funds to include interest from the last payment date and a daily interest amount (per diem) to be added up to the date the final payment clears.

Second Mortgage:

The payoff amount for the outstanding balance of the second mortgage to be paid and satisfied based on a valid payoff quote issued by the first mortgage lender. It will usually differ from the amount of the last statement since it is calculated to the day the loan funds to include interest from the last payment date and a daily interest amount (per diem) to be added up to the date the final payment clears.


  HELOC (Home Equity Line of credit) page top
 

The payoff amount for the outstanding balance of the home equity line of credit to be paid and satisfied based on a valid payoff quote issued by the first mortgage lender. It will usually differ from the amount of the last statement since it is calculated to the day the loan funds to include interest from the last payment date and a daily interest amount (per diem) to be added up to the date the final payment clears.


  Others page top
 

Other Liens:

The payoff amount for any additional mortgages, loans, liens, judgments or other items filed as a lien on the subject property that may be required by the new lender or the title company to be satisfied at closing.

Other Payoffs:

The payoff amount for any additional items to be paid or satisfied at closing, including those that may be required to be paid by the new lender. This may include debt obligations, credit cards and consumer debt or payments to creditors that may not have a filed lien against the subject property.
