Refinancing

It all depends on what type of loan you have today. Some streamline refinance programs don't even require an appraisal, and the HARP program usually doesn't either. Contact a local mortgage broker in your area for more individual assistance.

If your loan is either FHA or VA loan, then a streamline refinance would allow you to obtain a new loan, probably with a lower rate without an appraisal. If your loan is a conventional loan, then it may be eligible for a HARP refinance. You should work with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker rather than one of the big banks or big national mortgage factories. Unlike a bank employee, who is most likely just an order taker, a Mortgage Broker/Banker is Trained, Tested and Licensed in all aspects of Mortgage Origination. We have access to loan products of MANY lenders, not just those of ONE bank, and can properly guide you. But more importantly, we are trained to take a look at the various different options available to you and guide you into the one that makes the best sense for your situation.
