Clear, traceable sources.

02 Authorship

Who writes our resources

ClosingCash educational resources are written by Matt Stein, Founder of ClosingCash. We identify the author by name and role on each resource page.

ClosingCash does not currently list an independent subject-matter reviewer for these resources. If a qualified reviewer is added later, we will identify that person and the scope of the review only after the review has occurred.

03 Research standards

Useful guidance starts with clear, traceable sources.

Start with primary sources

We prioritize information from sources such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, federal and state regulators, statutes, rules, official forms, and agency guidance. Resource pages identify the principal sources used.

Explain what can vary

Closing costs, provider availability, lender requirements, and state rules can vary by transaction. We separate general education from decisions that require confirmation from a lender or qualified professional.

Do not promise an outcome

We do not guarantee savings, provider availability, lender acceptance, or a particular closing result. Examples must be labeled when they are illustrative.

04 Updates

How we keep resources current

Each resource shows the date it was last updated.

We review and update content when authoritative guidance, the ClosingCash product, or other material facts change. We do not claim an original publication date unless that date has been verified.

Corrections

How to suggest a correction

Email hello@shopmyclosingcosts.com with the page URL, the information you believe should be corrected, and a supporting source when available.

Matt Stein is responsible for reviewing correction requests. ClosingCash evaluates reported issues and corrects material errors when the available evidence supports a change.

05 Important boundary

Educational information is not transaction-specific advice.

ClosingCash content is general educational information. It is not legal, tax, investment, mortgage, title, insurance, escrow, or other professional advice. Confirm the requirements for your transaction with your lender and the qualified professionals involved in your closing.
