Trade In Your Current Loan

Industry term: Refinancing

Refinancing means replacing your current mortgage with a new one. People usually refinance for one of three reasons: to lower their interest rate, to change their loan term (like moving from a 30-year to a 15-year to pay it off faster, or the reverse to lower monthly payments), or to do a cash-out refinance and turn some of their home's equity into money they can actually use.

A rate-and-term refinance replaces your loan with a new rate or term, keeping your loan balance about the same. A cash-out refinance replaces your loan with a larger one, and you keep the difference in cash, commonly used for renovations, debt consolidation, or other major expenses.

Refinancing has real closing costs, so the math only makes sense if what you save (or gain) outweighs those costs within a timeframe that makes sense for you. That's exactly the kind of number we run for free before you commit to anything.

Common Questions

How do I know if refinancing is worth it?

It depends on your current rate, how long you plan to stay in the home, and the closing costs on the new loan. We'll run the real numbers with you, no obligation.

What's a cash-out refinance?

It replaces your mortgage with a larger loan and gives you the difference in cash, using your home's equity. Common uses are renovations, debt consolidation, or other major expenses.
