Refinance

Make your mortgage work better for you

Refinancing means replacing your current mortgage with a new one, or adding a second loan, to better match where you are in life today. Maybe you want a lower monthly payment, to pay off your home sooner, or to use your equity for something important. Whatever the goal, we'll help you find the right path.

What would you like to do?

Lower my payment or shorten my term

A rate-and-term refinance replaces your current mortgage with a new one to change your rate, your term, or both, without taking cash out.

Take cash out of my home

A cash-out refinance replaces your mortgage with a larger one and gives you the difference in cash, all in one loan with one payment.

Get cash but keep my current mortgage

A HELOC or home equity loan adds a second loan so your first mortgage stays untouched. This is often a smart move if you have a low rate today.

Eliminate my monthly mortgage payment (age 62+)

A reverse mortgage lets eligible homeowners 62 and older use their equity without a required monthly mortgage payment.

Refinance a government loan

We also refinance FHA and VA loans, including streamlined options when you qualify.

When does refinancing make sense?

A refinance is worth it when the benefits outweigh the costs. We look at:

  • Your goal. Payment, term, cash, or a combination.
  • Your closing costs and how long it takes to make them back.
  • How long you plan to stay in the home.
  • Your remaining term. Starting a new 30-year loan when you only have a few years left can increase the total interest you pay, even if the payment drops.

We'll run the numbers side by side so you can see the trade-offs clearly, then you decide.

Refinancing a rental property?

If you're refinancing an investment property, a DSCR loan can qualify you based on the property's rental income instead of your personal income.

What to have ready

To get started, all you need is a conversation. When you're ready, these help:

  • Your most recent mortgage statement
  • Proof of income (or bank statements if you're self-employed)
  • Homeowners insurance and HOA information, if any
  • A short note on your goal
