Mortgage Refinancing

Refinance Your Way to a Better Loan.

Lower your rate, shorten your term, or access your home’s equity. Plus, once you’re a client, Free Re-Fi for Life means you never pay our lending fees again.

The basics

What is refinancing?

Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one — ideally with better terms. The new loan pays off your existing balance, and you start fresh with a new rate, term, or loan amount. People refinance to lower their monthly payment, reduce their interest rate, change their loan term, or pull cash out of their home’s equity for renovations, debt consolidation, or other goals.

Benefits

Four ways refinancing can help.

01

Lower monthly payments

Extend your term or lower your rate to reduce what you owe each month, freeing up cash flow.

02

Lower interest rate

If rates have dropped since you bought, or your credit has improved, refinancing can lock in real savings.

03

Shorten your loan term

Move from a 30-year to a 15-year term to pay off your home faster and save significantly on total interest.

04

Cash-out refinance

Borrow against your home’s equity for renovations, debt consolidation, or your next move, in one new loan.

FAQs

Refinancing questions.

How much does it cost to refinance?

+

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount, covering appraisal, title, and lender fees. Once you’re a Lower client, Free Re-Fi for Life waives our standard lending fees on any future refinance.

How long does refinancing take?

+

Most refinances close in 30 days or less, depending on appraisal scheduling and how quickly documentation comes in.

Will refinancing hurt my credit?

+

A hard credit pull happens once you formally apply, causing a small, temporary dip. Getting rate options beforehand typically only involves a soft pull.

Is there a minimum time I need to own my home first?

+

It depends on the loan type — some cash-out refinances require 6-12 months of ownership (a “seasoning” period). We’ll confirm what applies to your situation.
