Cash to Close: how it works

Adds up everything a buyer brings to closing: the down payment, itemized closing fees, and prepaid items (escrow reserves for taxes and insurance plus prepaid interest).

Step by step

  1. Closing fees are itemized from local title-company fee data where available, state-typical defaults otherwise, or a flat estimate when no location is provided.
  2. Escrow reserves collect a few months of property tax and insurance at closing; prepaid interest covers the days between closing and your first payment cycle.
