Refinances

What is a Refinance?

A refinance is a powerful tool when used correctly. Rate-and-term refis lower your rate and/or shorten your term. Cash-out refis pull equity out. Streamline refis (FHA, VA) skip the appraisal and most documentation.

The right refi for you depends on three things: where rates are today, where they are likely to go, and how long you plan to stay in the home.

Your Company runs a transparent break-even analysis on every refi quote so you know exactly when the savings cross your closing costs. No refi makes sense if you sell before break-even.

A refinance replaces your current mortgage with a new one — often for a lower rate, shorter term, or to pull out cash for major expenses.

Advantages of Refinances

• Lower Rate — A 1% rate reduction can save tens of thousands over the life of the loan.
• Remove PMI — Refinance to conventional once you reach 20% equity.
• Shorten Term — Move from 30 to 15 year and pay less interest over time.
• Cash Out (separate program) — Pull equity for renovations, college, debt consolidation.

How the process works

1. Break-Even Analysis — We confirm the refi pays for itself in your planned timeframe.
2. Apply — Standard mortgage application — most refis run smoother than a purchase.
3. Appraise — Appraisal confirms current home value.
4. Close — Typical 30–45 day refi timeline.
