Thinking about refinancing?
If you’re considering refinancing your current mortgage, we can help you understand your options.
If you have enough equity in your home, refinancing can offer flexibility.
- Tap into your home equity — With a cash-out refinance, you can use the available equity in your home to pay for home improvement projects or other major expenses.
- Change your loan term — If you want to pay off your loan sooner, you can shorten your loan term. While it’s likely you’ll pay less interest over the life of your loan, your monthly payment may go up. You can also lower your monthly payment by refinancing to a longer-term loan. While this will lower your monthly payment and free up some cash each month, you may pay more interest over the life of the loan.
- Convert an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage — Enjoy payments and rates that don’t change over time.

Before you refinance your mortgage
- Know the score. Check your credit score before you apply. Your credit history and credit score are key factors in determining your interest rate and the amount you may be able to borrow.
- Understand the costs of refinancing. You’ll have to pay closing costs, origination fees, and other loan fees.
- Keep in mind that you’re starting over. Refinancing replaces your existing loan with a new one. If your new loan has the same term as your original mortgage, you may end up paying more interest over the long run.
