Refinancing Your Mortgage
Make Your Home Work For You
Want to lower your monthly mortgage payment or secure a lower interest rate? Would you like to take advantage of the equity in your home or move your adjustable rate loan to a fixed rate? If so, consider refinancing your mortgage.
While the process of refinancing is similar to applying for your first mortgage, we’re here to help you understand the pros and cons, options and costs, so the experience is as smooth as possible, and you can get back to focusing on memories, and not interest rates.
Possible Benefits of Refinancing Your Mortgage
LOWER YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENT
Put extra money back into your budget. Rate-and-term finance replaces your current mortgage with a new, lower rates, meaning less to pay back each month.
MANAGE DEBT BETTER
A Cash out refinance may be the option for you. Tap into your equity to pay off any high-interest debt like credit cards, car payments, or student loan debt.
PAY OFF YOUR LOAN FASTER
Refinance from a 30-year loan to a shorter term and pay off your loan in as little as half the time! Pay less interest over the life of your loan as well.
LOCK IN A LOW RATE
Switch from an adjustable-rate to a fixed rate mortgage, and keep one low and manageable interest rate for the life of your loan.
