Reasons to refinance
Lower your payment
A lower rate or a longer term can reduce what you pay each month.
Shorten your term
A shorter term can save interest and pay your home off sooner, usually with a higher monthly payment.
Take cash out
Replace your current loan with a larger one and use the difference for renovations, debt payoff or a big expense.
Drop mortgage insurance
If your home has gained value, refinancing an FHA loan or a loan with private mortgage insurance may let you remove it.
Switch to a fixed rate
Trade an adjustable rate for a fixed one so your principal and interest payment stays the same.
Already have a rate you'd never get today?
Keep it. A HELOC or home equity loan can get you cash without touching your first mortgage.

From a client
Patrick and his team worked tirelessly to push our refinance through. We ran into several hurdles during the process and he guided us every step of the way. His communication was top notch, we always felt in the loop of what was going on, and he consistently allowed us to weigh in on the process.
Refinance questions
How do I know if refinancing is worth it?
Compare your monthly savings to your closing costs. If the savings cover the costs well before you expect to sell or refinance again, it's worth a closer look. The calculator above shows your break-even point.
What does it cost to refinance?
Closing costs typically include lender, appraisal, title and escrow fees. Before you commit, you'll get an itemized Loan Estimate showing every cost.
Will refinancing restart my loan?
A new loan starts a new term. You can choose a shorter term, or keep paying your old payment amount to pay the new loan down faster.
How long does a refinance take?
Many refinances close in about 30 days. Your timeline depends on the appraisal and how quickly documents come in.
