As a homeowner there are many reasons you might consider to refinance your mortgage. These reasons include: lowering your monthly payment, cashing out equity to pay off other bills, save money in interest payments, pay off your mortgage quicker, and consolidating 1st and 2nd mortgages.
The Internet makes refinancing your mortgage easy. You can research lenders, compare mortgage offers, and apply quickly online. By investing a little time you can easily locate a mortgage with the best interest rate and terms for your situation. As a homeowner it is important to do your homework prior to shopping around so you will be able to recognize the best deal when you find it. Our free guide “Five Things You Need to Know Before Refinancing Your Mortgage” will help educate you.
A mortgage broker can help you find the best mortgage by doing some of the legwork for you. It is important to contact more than one broker when shopping for a loan so you can compare broker fees along with interest rates, terms, and conditions.
When shopping for a mortgage try to minimize the number of times your credit is accessed by lenders and brokers. If you can narrow it down to 4-5 brokers or companies that can give you multiple mortgage offers there will be fewer requests logged to your credit history.
