Refinancing Your Mortgage

When’s the last time you took a look at your mortgage? It might have been the right fit back when you first bought your home, but things change, and life happens. If you’re not absolutely sure that your current home loan is right for you, it’s time for a Mortgage Check-up.

Why refinance? There are many reasons:

  • Lower your interest rate and monthly payments
  • Pay for home improvements
  • Consolidate debt
  • Eliminate or lower mortgage insurance
  • Pay off your home faster
  • Avoid increasing payments in an ARM loan
  • You’re upside down on your loan
  • Remove a co-borrower from your loan
  • Convert your home equity into cash

We can help you explore options and learn if refinancing your home is the best decision for your financial situation.


Home Equity Loans

Whether it’s extra cash to fund a home improvement project, consolidate debt or take a well-deserved vacation, if you’re a homeowner with equity in your home, we can help. We offer two types of home equity products:

Fixed Second Trust Mortgage

  • Fixed Interest rate for entire term of the mortgage
  • Full loan amount disbursed

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

  • Interest rate is ultra-low for the first 6 months, then subject to adjust quarterly based on The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate
  • Withdraw money as you need it, for up to 10 years from origination date
