Refinancing your mortgage does incur closing costs. Closing costs are going to vary depending on your loan amount, your loan program, and how long you have been in your current mortgage. As a general rule of thumb, the closing costs are going to run between $3,000-$4,000.
Most likely you will skip one month's mortgage payment for you to use towards other debt, to make some home improvements, to take care or other personal expenses, or maybe to keep in savings for future use. But you also have the option to bring the equivalent of that saved payment to closing to keep your loan balance as low as possible.

Please refer to your most recent homeowners policy for the annual amount.

Your escrow account is like a savings account that is used to pay for your taxes and insurance. The costs of the escrows are going to vary greatly. The best way to estimate your escrows is by checking your current escrow balance on your most recent mortgage statement. Please remember, that you will be getting a refund of your current escrow balance within 3-4 weeks after your refinance closing. Many of our clients will roll all of that cost into the loan and then pocket their refund for other personal expenses. While others will bring that amount to closing and wait for the escrow refund to come back.

Upon submitting a loan application, we will retrieve your credit report, which subsequently acts as a “trigger” for other companies seeking new customers. Unfortunately, lenders, credit card companies, and insurance providers can acquire your data from the three major credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, turning you into what is referred to as a “trigger lead.” As a result, you may experience a surge in phone calls from other companies after applying. While triggers leads may be perceived as unethical by some, it is important to know they are legal and according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB), they are used to encourage competition among lenders and other companies. It is important to note that these solicitors do not have access to Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The information they receive from the credit bureaus only indicates that there has been a recent credit inquiry, enabling them to compete for your business.

Although it is not possible to completely halt trigger leads, you can adopt a proactive approach and opt out before you start receiving unwelcomed communications.

To prevent the credit bureaus from selling your information as a trigger lead, visit OptOutPreScreen and register. The registration process typically takes around five days to complete and will only affect future lead requests, meaning you may still receive some solicitations.

For the elimination of unwanted phone calls, you can register your phone number(s) on the Do Not Call Registry.  We recommend initiating this process at least one month before applying for a loan since it can take a few weeks to become effective.

At 1st Alliance Mortgage, we value your privacy, and WE DO NOT SELL customer information to third parties. We safeguard the trust you have placed in us and maintain the utmost confidentiality and accuracy of that information.
