Why Refinance Your Mortgage?

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have bad Credit?
We have access to many alternative lenders who work with people that the traditional banks and lenders will not work with. Our lenders look past a person's credit score.
What does it cost?
The costs to refinance your home do not have to be paid up front. They can be included in the new mortgage established. Costs can include property appraisal, legal fees to register the new mortgage, penalties from your current institution to break the mortgage, lender insurance premiums and in extreme cases a small broker fee.
Can I simply switch my existing mortgage?
Yes, if your existing mortgage is up for renewal within the next 120 days we can switch the existing loan to one of our lenders at a rate that is less than your bank will charge and there will be no legal fees, penalties or broker fees payable by you.
What if I am locked into my current mortgage?
We can always look at options to either break your current mortgage or acquire secondary financing. Our mortgage professionals can do all the calculations for you to determine the best option for you.
