Refinancing Basics

When refinancing makes sense (and when it doesn't)

Refinancing isn't always the right move, even when rates look attractive. The real question is whether the benefit you'd get outweighs the cost and time it takes to close a new loan. Some borrowers refinance to lower their rate, others to tap equity for a major expense, and some to change their loan term. Each situation is different—what works for your neighbor might not work for you. The best way to know if it's worth exploring is to talk through your specific numbers and goals with someone who can look at your whole picture, not just the headline rate.

If you're wondering whether refinancing makes sense for your situation, I'd be happy to walk through it with you.

Tip of the Week

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate so there are no surprises.

Tips for Homeowners

Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams

1.

Wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing real estate scams. Never wire closing funds based solely on email instructions — always verify account numbers by calling your title company at a number you look up yourself.

2.

Loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners in distress. Legitimate help is available free through HUD-approved counseling agencies at 800-569-4287.

3.

Be wary of unsolicited offers to refinance or cash out equity at terms that sound unusually favorable. If someone contacts you out of the blue, verify their NMLS license number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
