MORTGAGE RENEWAL
You can renew your mortgage at the end of your term or you can renew early if you are looking to take advantage of lower rates. I am here to guide you to make the best decisions for your financial situation. EARLY RENEWALS If interest rates are dropping and you are looking to renew your mortgage early, we should talk about your options. Most banks and lenders have penalty fees associated with breaking out of your mortgage early, however, it can sometimes be worth the upfront expense if it means long term financial gain. My job is to do all of these calculations for you to make sure you are weighing all of your options and choosing the one that is best for your unique situation. END OF TERM RENEWALS Everytime your mortgage is up for renewal, your current lender will send you paperwork to automatically renew with them. It has become common practice to choose the easiest option, which would be to sign and send the paperwork back. I am here to tell you that your current lender may not be offering you the most competitve rates and products available. I am here to make sure you are getting the best bang for your buck. Make sure you look at all your options before you automatically renew.
