To refi or not to refi…
Refinancing is a big decision, but it could save you a huge chunk of change.

Frequently Asked Refinance Questions
Mortgage refinancing refers to the process of replacing your current mortgage with a new loan, typically to obtain a lower interest rate, modify the loan duration, or tap into your home’s equity. This can lead to decreased monthly payments or enhance your financial situation overall.
Selecting Westerra for your mortgage refinancing means accessing competitive rates along with personalized service. Our committed team collaborates with you to grasp your financial objectives and offer customized solutions, ensuring a seamless refinancing journey.
At Westerra, we provide a range of refinancing options, such as fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages. Fixed-rate refinancing allows for stable monthly payments, while adjustable-rate mortgages may present lower initial rates. Additionally, cash-out refinancing enables you to utilize your home’s equity for purposes like home renovations or debt consolidation.
To evaluate if refinancing is advantageous, consider your current mortgage terms, including interest rate and loan balance. If market rates have declined or your credit score has improved, it may be a favorable time to refinance. Our team at Westerra is here to assist you in assessing your situation and navigating the decision-making process.
When refinancing, you will typically need to provide documents such as pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and information about your existing mortgage. Collecting these documents ahead of time can speed up the refinancing process and help avoid delays.
Closing costs are fees related to refinancing, like appraisal, title insurance, and credit report expenses. While these costs can vary, they can sometimes be incorporated into the new loan. At Westerra, we maintain transparency regarding closing costs, allowing you to anticipate and plan effectively.
