Remortgage Recommendation Needed

[Nacoma]

Hi all, we’re looking to remortgage so we can lower our current interest rate on our home here in The Villages. Does anyone have any recommendations of any local banks and/or mortgage companies here in the area that you would suggest we contact? Thanks all for any help! :-)

You will probably find the lowest rates online (LendingTree.com or BankRate.com). A company called Lendova (which has good reviews) offers 2.625 for a 30 year fixed. YMMV.

First step is to go online and see what the current rate is for your specific circumstances. Go to Aimloan.com or Lenderfi.com. Both allow you to put in your specific information and will give you various products available including closing costs. You do not have to give personal information to receive rates and closing costs at these two sites. It takes about 5 minutes to get your rates. Other online sites you have to give email and phone number and you are bombarded with calls over the next two weeks.

If you don’t want to go online (which tends to be the cheapest) you can go through a local mortgage broker, local banks, or local credit union. You can also check out the rates and costs from large mortgage companies such as Wells Fargo, BofA, Chase, etc. Many of the bigger companies do have rates online but sometimes costs are hard to find. This is a major financial transaction for you and saving even 25 basis point on a loan rate can save you thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. So shop around and play one company against the other to get the best deal including lower closing costs. One final warning, if anyone says they need to pull your credit to give you a quote, run away. That is not necessary, they are just trying to tie you to them. Excessive hard pulls on your credit can impact your credit score.

I refinanced with Aimloan.com 6 months ago, a very easy process that took less than 30 days. Treat this as a project that can save you lots of money over 5 to 10 years and do your research. Many factors will go into your personalized rate, so it really doesn’t matter what rate or costs someone received, your rate and cost will be different (maybe higher, maybe lower). Best of luck.

We refinanced at Vystar credit union on 466A in Trailwinds. No closing costs. In return, we had to agree to keep the loan active for at least 3 years. Saved thousands of dollars that other places charge for closing costs.

I assume you had to pay the state mortgage recording fees? In our case we are being told that will be over $2,000. :(

No, Vystar paid for that.

Talk to the banker at the 466A office. They will answer questions, get you started, and connect you with a mortgage banker at their home office. Documents handled by email. Closing at the local office.

Vystar's mortgage rates don't look very competitive. If this chart is current they're at 3.25% with .875 points. Mortgage Loan Rates | VyStar Credit Union (https://vystarcu.org/Rates/Mortgage-Loan-Rates)

Even Chase can beat that at 2.625% Current Mortgage Rates | Home Lending | Chase.com (https://www.chase.com/personal/mortgage/mortgage-rates)

Call them for the current rates. That chart seems like it has not been updated.
