Ready to Refinance your mortgage?

Watch this video to figure out if it'll be worth the money and the hassle. 

Why would you want to refinance your mortgage?

  • To lower your monthly payment
  • To pay down your loan faster

Could you be a good fit for a refinance?

  • Can you save more than half a percent off your current rate?
  • Will you be in your home for over 3 years?

How to get quotes:

  • Survey at least 3 lenders
  • Look for relationship discounts
  • Bring: your FICO score, your current mortgage statement, your income/W2's or tax returns, and know your current home value
  • Don't let lenders pull your credit yet!

What information should you have:

  • Closing costs + Fees
  • Estimated new payment

Calculate how many months you need to stay in your home to recoup your costs:

  • Closing costs + Fees/ New payment- Old payment
  • Will you be in your home for this long?

Money making tip!

  • Are you an attractive buyer? Is your credit score over 740, do you have a low amount of debt or no debt and steady income?
