Refinancing Your Mortgage

If your personal life in Parksville has drastically changed or interest rates have dropped significantly since you last signed your Parksville mortgage agreement, you may find yourself interested in exploring avenues to refinance your mortgage.

Guess what??

You've come to the right place.

I'm an ethical licensed mortgage broker helping borrowers (just like you!) to better understand their current mortgage in Parksville, and discover mortgage options which may be a better fit financially.

Refinancing your mortgage in Parksville has potential to unlock new opportunities and save you money. Chatting with a licensed mortgage broker (such as myself!) is a recommended avenue to finding out whether refinancing your Parksville mortgage truly is the best option.

Now, let's dive into what the heck it means to 'refinance' your mortgage!

'Refinancing', Made Simple

Refinancing your mortgage in Parksville can sound like a frightening idea, but with the proper assistance you'll be able to refinance (or choose a different mortgage option!) with confidence.

When you refinance your Parksville mortgage, you're renegotiating your existing mortgage agreement before your renewal date.

You may be interested in refinancing your Parksville mortgage if:

• You want to ride the train of significantly better interest rates
• You're carrying high interest debts which you'd like to consolidate into a lower interest rate
• You require extra funds to give your Parksville house a facelift
• You may benefit from lower monthly payments by extending your amortization
• Your income has shifted and you have more or less funds to contribute to your mortgage

Costs Regarding Refinancing Your Parksville Mortgage

Refinancing can be a smooth process, but it can also come at a cost.

Working with a licensed Parksville mortgage broker (such as myself!) is a great way to create an actionable plan which makes financial sense for refinancing your mortgage.

Common costs associated with refinancing are:

• Broker fees (depending on the complexity and lender) or legal fees
• Survey fees/appraisal fees
• Penalties for breaking your Parksville mortgage agreement (ie. pre-payment penalties)
• Fees for switching lenders (in some cases)
• Fees for registering your Parksville mortgage

Keep in mind that no two mortgage situations are exactly the same.

Refinancing may be a great solution for some borrowers, but not the best fit for you.

Preparing For An Optimal Parksville Mortgage Refinance

Your offers to refinance are heavily influenced factors such as your unique borrowing situation, the current economy, interest rates, lender promotions etc.

Hop into the driver's seat and begin preparing for an optimal Parksville mortgage refinance by:
 

• HAVE A CREDIT SCORE THAT IS ‘GOOD’ OR ‘EXCELLENT’
  • You can achieve this by paying bills on time, having varied credit lines, and maintaining low credit utilization/debt ratios.
    
     
• WORK WITH ME! (YOUR LICENSED MORTGAGE BROKER)
  • We have access to hundred's of lender programs and will always work in your best interests - we're licensed to do so after all!
    
     
• REFINANCE WHEN IT MAKES SENSE
  • Refinance your Parksville mortgage by planning accordingly - if rates are forecasted to drop next month, it may be better to wait
     
• MAINTAINING LOW DEBT RATIOS
  • This is a bit of a complex concept because you would think that a lower interest rate than what you currently hold MUST save you money, but depending on the term of the contract and the amortization period, it may end up hurting your pocket in the long run.
