Mortgage Refinancing
The most common type of refinance
A rate-and-term refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new one at a lower interest rate, a different loan term, or both. No cash is taken out of the home.
Turn your home equity into cash
A cash-out refinance lets you borrow more than you owe on your current mortgage and receive the difference in cash. Use it for home improvements, debt consolidation, or any major expense.

The general rule of thumb is that refinancing makes sense if you can Explore whether refinancing could lower your rate by at least 0.5-1% and you plan to stay in the home long enough to recoup the closing costs (typically 2-3 years). Craig will run a break-even analysis for your specific situation at no cost.
Most refinances close in 21-30 days. The timeline depends on how quickly you provide documentation, the appraisal turnaround, and the lender’s processing time. Craig works to keep things moving as fast as possible.
Refinance closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the loan amount and include appraisal fees, title insurance, origination fees, and prepaid items. Some lenders offer refinance with costs addressed through lender credits, loan financing when permitted, or a higher interest rates where the costs are rolled into the rate. Craig will provide a full Loan Estimate so you can compare options.
