Loan Estimate (LE)

Plain-English definition with Kansas context. Written for homebuyers, not mortgage bankers.

What is a Loan Estimate?

A Loan Estimate is a three-page federally mandated document that your lender must provide within three business days of receiving your loan application. It details your estimated rate, monthly payment, closing costs, and key terms. The Loan Estimate format is standardized so borrowers can compare offers apples-to-apples.

More detail

The Loan Estimate replaced the older Good Faith Estimate (GFE) in 2015. You have three business days after receiving your LE to accept or reject the loan offer.
