Many homeowners choose to keep their current lender when renewing their mortgage because they believe it saves time. However, it is important to assess the rates and terms offered by the current lender during mortgage renewals. If you need guidance in this process, feel free to contact me. It is also crucial to evaluate any life changes that may have impacted your finances, such as debt consolidation, using home equity, or future property plans. Additionally, exploring refinancing options can help you pay off your mortgage faster or make use of your home equity. Refinancing may be necessary for changes in rates, increased mortgage amounts, equity use, or amortization adjustments. Instead of simply signing renewal forms, it is advised to question and compare to secure the best rate. By doing so, you can benefit from multiple lenders competing for the best rate.
