Craig saved us over $400 a month on our refinance. He found a rate we didn’t think was possible and had us closed in under 30 days. Highly recommend Summit Lending Solutions.

The general rule of thumb is that refinancing makes sense if you can 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 no-cost refinances where the costs are rolled into the rate. Craig will provide a full Loan Estimate so you can compare options.
Yes! FHA loans can be refinanced through the FHA Streamline program with minimal documentation and no appraisal required. VA loans can be refinanced through the VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) program. Both streamline options are fast and cost-effective.
Most conventional refinances require a credit score of 620 or higher, with the best rates available to borrowers with 740+. FHA and VA streamline refinances have more flexible credit requirements. Craig works with borrowers across a wide range of credit profiles.
