Here’s a quick breakdown of how to get started on a mortgage refinance:
🔍 1. Research to Find the Best Rates
Start by exploring the current market. Look at interest rate trends and speak with trusted mortgage professionals (like our LJ Mortgage Team) to understand what’s available and what suits your financial goals.
📝 2. Apply for a New Mortgage
Once you’ve identified potential lenders, it’s time to apply. This involves submitting documentation about your income, debts, and current mortgage. The goal is to get pre-qualified or pre-approved for refinancing.
🔄 3. Compare
Not all loan offers are created equal. Compare interest rates, closing costs, and terms. Our team will help you understand the fine print and choose the best offer tailored to your situation.
🔒 4. Lock In Your Rate
When you find a great rate, lock it in! This ensures your rate won’t change during the loan process even if the market fluctuates.
🏠 5. Close on Your New Mortgage
Once everything checks out, it’s time to close! Sign the paperwork, finalize the deal, and enjoy the benefits of your new, more favorable mortgage terms.
