Mortgage Refinance | See Rates and Apply

Refinancing your mortgage can have big benefits

We know your financial picture can change over time, and the loan you received when you first bought your home may need to change to better align with your current plans and finances. Whether you want to reduce your loan term, lower your interest rate, or access equity from your home, refinancing can be a smart way to help you meet your goals.

When you refinance, you replace your current mortgage with a new loan. Your new mortgage will have a different rate (adjustable or fixed-rate options are available), monthly payment, and overall term (choose from 10,15, 20 or 30 years). There are several reasons you may want to refinance, but here are some of the most common:

Reduce your rate or monthly payment
Save on interest over time
Switch to a different loan term to meet short or long-term goals
Pay off your loan faster
Take cash out from your home’s equity

If you’re considering a refinance we can help – apply online to get started or connect with a Home Loan Consultant to discuss your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a rate and term refinance and a cash-out refinance?

A rate and term refinance replaces your current mortgage with a new rate or term and the amount you owe on your current loan is transferred to a new loan. You may opt for this type of refinance if you want to reduce your current interest rate or payment or want to change your loan term. For example, if you currently have a 30-year fixed mortgage and want to switch to a 15-year term, a rate and term refinance is for you.
With a cash-out refinance you borrow more than your current mortgage loan balance by using your home’s equity as collateral. For example, if you have a $400,000 principal balance on your loan and you want to borrow (“cash out”) an additional $50,000, depending on how much equity you have available, you could refinance your new loan at $450,000. The $50,000 difference is paid to you at closing, but your rate and payment are based on the $450,000 balance.

How long does the refinance process take?

From the time you apply to the closing of your new loan, typically takes about 45 days. It may seem like a long time, but it is simple, and most of the heavy lifting is done by our team as we review and underwrite your new loan. After you apply, if you’re not already working with a Home Loan Consultant, we will find one for you, and they will work with you to review and request any items we may need (such as your income, assets, and credit history). They’ll work closely with you and will keep you updated on important milestones such as your loan approval, loan signing and closing.

How does a cash-out refinance differ from a home equity loan or line of credit?

A refinance is tied to your first mortgage on your home, and when you take cash out you’re borrowing more than you owe on your loan, but you still only have one loan and payment. A home equity loan (fixed-rate second mortgage) or home equity line of credit (variable-rate line of credit) are separate loans against your home. Your first mortgage remains untouched, and your home equity loan or home equity line of credit is used to access cash you may need for immediate or future needs.

I want to take cash out from my home’s equity. How do I know what option is best?

If you’re looking to tap into your home’s equity, there are several options available – from home equity loans and lines of credit, to a cash-out refinance or even a personal loan (not tied to your home or any collateral). When reviewing your options, you’ll want to consider your current interest rate and payment, your new payment, how much you’ll need and how fast you need the funds. Some homeowners with low fixed rates on their first mortgage may not want to refinance into a higher rate or payment, so a home equity loan or line of credit, or even a personal loan may be better suited. There’s a lot to think about and that’s what we’re here for! It’s best to connect with a Home Loan Consultant so they can give you a complete breakdown of your costs and options and recommend a solution for your individual goals.
