Many homeowners choose to stay with their current lender because they believe that they do not have enough time to explore other options. However, it is important to assess the rates and terms offered by your current lender during mortgage renewals. I can provide guidance in this matter. Additionally, it is important to evaluate any changes in your life that may impact your finances and consider options such as debt consolidation, using home equity, or making changes to your property plans. Exploring refinancing options can also be beneficial, whether it is to pay down the mortgage faster or leverage your home equity.
