Common Questions About Our No Closing Cost Loan Program

The following are general questions and answers regarding our popular No Closing Cost home loans. Because underwriting rules and guidelines change often and each borrower’s situation may vary, these answers do not supersede the guidance of your loan professional.
Q: Why is a No Closing Cost loan a big deal? Will I really benefit and save money? A: The national average that a homeowner pays for closing costs is $2,748 (as published by Bankrate.com). Our No Closing Cost customers avoid having to pay this $2,748 which results in a huge savings. It also makes refinancing a “no brainer”. With a lower interest rate, you will save money and it won’t cost you anything.
Q: Do you charge a higher interest rate on the No Closing Cost loan program? A: Our No Closing Cost rates are typically at or below the national average. You can expect to get an interest rate that is just as low as what other places are offering but with us, you will avoid paying for all those closing costs.
Q: If there are no closing costs, how does So EZ Mortgage make money? A: We pay for your closing costs with some of the revenue that we make when we release the servicing of the loan in the secondary mortgage market. After paying for your closing costs, we still profit although our margins are not nearly as high as some other lenders and banks. We receive a lot of referrals and repeat clients which is a big part of our success and helps us keep our exceptional pricing.
Q: What is the minimum loan amount required for the No Closing Cost mortgage? A: This varies with changes in the market but usually around $180,000. During periods of exceptional loan pricing, we have approved no closing cost home loans as low as $150,000. With smaller loan amounts, we significantly “scale down” the closing costs, but cannot waive everything. It is best to try our free mortgage review service so that we can price out your specific scenario.
Q: Is the appraisal fee included in the No Closing Cost mortgage? A: Yes. With regards to the appraisal fee, borrowers will pay upfront for this service (typically $300-$400) and So EZ Mortgage will reimburse this fee at closing.
