The real estate closing is the transfer of title to a parcel of real property between the seller and the buyer, as well as between the borrower
and lender as security for the loan. Under RESPA, the settlement agent (lender’s attorney) will prepare a HUD-1 Settlement Statement that
discloses all the costs associated with the transaction. This document allows the borrower to know specifically the cost of the loan and to whom
the fees are being allotted.
