Choosing the right lender for your mortgage refinance is very important; however, equally important is choosing the right person to arrange your home loan. Find the right broker and you’ll not only have access to today’s lowest refinance rates but you’ll avoid lender junk fees in the process.
One of the most common mortgage mistakes is overpaying closing costs. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) does not give you an exact picture of the fees you’ll be required to pay for your mortgage refi because it’s based only on the Good Faith Estimate of fees.
