Refinance

Big loan, big savings when the rate drops.

On a jumbo balance a small rate change is real money. Refinance to lower the rate, shorten the term, replace an adjustable loan, or take cash out on a high-value home.

Who it's for

Is the Jumbo refinance right for you?

  • Jumbo borrowers with a rate above today's market
  • Owners of an adjustable jumbo that is about to reset
  • High-value homeowners who want cash out for another purchase or investment

Common questions

Asked on almost every first call.

Has my loan dropped below jumbo?

If your balance is now under the conforming limit, a conventional refinance may price better. We check both.

Do I need two appraisals?

Only on very large loans. One is standard.

Can I do interest-only?

Some jumbo programs allow it for a fixed period.
