Explanation

The Closing Disclosure (CD) is a RESPA-required form that must be provided to the borrower at least three business days before closing. It details the final loan terms including interest rate, monthly payment, and loan amount; all closing costs; prepaid items; escrow impounds; and the exact cash to close. Pennsylvania buyers should compare the CD to the Loan Estimate received earlier to identify any significant changes. The settlement agent prepares the CD in coordination with the lender.
