Can I negotiate closing costs with New American Funding?

Accepted Answer

Yes — closing costs are almost always negotiable to some degree. Based on our data, New American Funding's origination fee (avg $4,661 vs $1,695 peer avg) and title insurance (avg $3,318 vs $3,103 peer avg) have both run above comparable lenders — making them the most important fees to challenge. 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.
