Mortgage closing costs are all we do. From statewide transfer taxes to granular township-level fees, we make sure your closing costs are right for every disclosure.
With an independent database of service providers and government fees, LodeStar leverages technological and mortgage industry expertise to create products and partnerships that automate disclosure of closing costs.
Closing costs as a percentage of sales price hovers around 0.5% to 3%, with an average percentage of 1.04% and a median of 0.85%. Just like in 2025, Delaware leads the pack at a whopping 3.06% of the sales price.
For this month’s mortgage industry vibe check on the Full Disclosure Podcast, Jim and Alayna discuss the effects of the past several years on the industry and how pros in the trenches have endured one battle after another.
Horace and Octavia continue their protracted conflict over the use of the CRM (or lack thereof).
Lodestar is impressive! They are open to new ideas and have shown a “Yes we can” attitude! They are helpful, able to pivot, quick to respond, and have been a joy to work with – GREAT team!
Our company has enjoyed working with LodeStar! During initial implementation they were thorough and detailed. In our continuing partnership they have been swift to respond to potential issues and additions with great customer service. We look forward to continuing to partner with them.
For several years LodeStar has provided consistent, reliable support to our organization. Their responsiveness and readiness to go above and beyond has helped shape a relationship in the industry that we truly value!
Thanks to LodeStar’s excellent customer service and meticulous onboarding, we were finally able to dodge the traditional frustration and difficulty we’ve encountered with the implementation of other systems in the past. In fact, LodeStar is one of the best implementation vendors that NOVA has ever worked with. They are extremely responsive and delivered what they promised in the expected timeframe. We couldn’t ask for anything more.

NOVA® Home Loans
Lodestar has been amazing to work with. The staff is super responsive and always takes care of whatever we need in order to ensure accuracy on all loans. It is a great tool to utilize for settlement fees and taxes.
Simply a great synergy, LodeStar came to us with their product a few years ago and made their product fit into our business model with custom configuration based on how we work. We never have to worry about response times – they are always quick to respond and adjust our configuration as we need. The team at LodeStar keep their customers in mind while innovating services and make us feel as though they are keeping us specifically in mind.
