Refinance Checklist

Think it is time to Refinance? Work with the best mortgage company servicing Dartmouth, MA and surrounding areas with over 25 years experience writing loans. There are many reasons to refinance your mortgage, but most fall into one or all of three categories: One, save money by obtaining a lower interest rate; Two, use your home equity to borrow money for improvements or to payoff high interest credit cards and loans or Three restructure your existing mortgage to lower its term reducing the number of years your paying and saving considerable interest. Refinancing to save money is like making an investment in yourself, as the interest you save over the life of the loan becomes the return on your investment.
