Question 4

Can I negotiate closing costs with CMG Financial?

Accepted Answer

Yes — closing costs are almost always negotiable to some degree. Based on our data, CMG Financial's origination fee (avg $4,431) runs above the peer average of $1,721, making it worth challenging specifically. Lender-controlled fees like origination, processing, and underwriting charges can often be reduced or waived, especially if you have a strong credit profile or are comparing offers from multiple lenders. Third-party fees such as title insurance and settlement services can sometimes be shopped around for better rates — you are generally entitled to choose your own providers. Fair Closing Check analyzes your specific Closing Disclosure and identifies which fees to challenge and how much room there is to negotiate. This is informational only and not legal or financial advice.

Question 5

What fees on CMG Financial's Closing Disclosures run above peer averages?

Accepted Answer

Across homebuyer-submitted Closing Disclosures for CMG Financial, three fee categories tend to run above comparable lenders: origination fee (avg $4,431 vs $1,721 peer avg, +$2,711), discount points (avg $4,469 vs $2,109 peer avg, +$2,360), and lender credits (avg $2,528 vs $430 peer avg, +$2,098). These are the line items most worth scrutinizing or challenging on your own disclosure. "Junk fees" is industry shorthand for charges that are inflated beyond the peer norm or provide little discernible value — the CFPB recommends shopping title, settlement, and pest-inspection services independently when possible.
