A better mortgage replaces your current one.

Refinancing means paying off your current mortgage with a new one, ideally on better terms. The three most common reasons to refinance are: lower your interest rate, shorten your loan term, or access the equity you've accumulated as cash.

A refinance isn't right for everyone in every market. Donna runs the numbers honestly, break-even analysis, total cost comparison, long-term savings, so you make the decision with full information, not a sales pitch.

Who it’s for

  • Homeowners with rates significantly above current market
  • Buyers who purchased when rates were high and want to reduce their payment
  • Investors wanting to pull equity out to fund the next acquisition
  • Homeowners wanting to eliminate PMI by reaching 20% equity
  • Anyone on an adjustable-rate mortgage wanting to lock into a fixed rate

How it works.

  1. 1

    Rate-and-term refinance

    Lower your interest rate, change your loan term, or both. Reduces your monthly payment or total interest paid, or both.

  2. 2

    Cash-out refinance

    Replace your mortgage with a larger one and take the difference as cash. Use equity to fund investments, renovations, or business capital.

  3. 3

    Streamline refinance

    Available for FHA and VA loans, simplified process, reduced documentation, no appraisal required in many cases.
