Are all closing costs the same or will different lenders have lower fees etc.

I want to know what the typical range for closing costs should be because I've been wanting to back out of my current mortgage company whos GFE had down over $10K in "other" costs for a $200K townhome. Is this normal??

That sounds extremely high. Are they charging you discount points to buy the rate down ? There is a difference between closing costs from a lender and 3rd party fees and/or prepaids such as insurance, property taxes. Additionally, it depends if this is a purchase or refinance since you will have transfer taxes here in Illinois. Typical 200K loan refinance from our company, Lamb Financial, would break down as such. Appraisal $250-450 (depends on loan type, FHA, VA or conventional). Title Fees $500-$750, Lender Fee $500-$895. Prepaids for insurance and taxes - depends on your county, but these are not fees as this is your money.

It sounds high. It depends on if it is a refinance or purchase. Underwriting fees are $700 to 800, appraisal about $400, credit $28, title $600 (for refi), $85 recording. ... Title for purchase is much higher. If you want someone to review the fee you have feel free to email it to me mruffalo@mortgage-store.com or call me at 847.805.1818. I would be happy to break it down for you so you can understand it better. Also, it depends of you are escrowing taxes and insurance and if this is included in the figure.
