Cash Out
Refinance

You may be able to pay off those higher-interest debts if you qualify by refinancing to a lower rate. (Not all debt will be paid off as the loan will be a new debt.) Even with less-than-perfect credit, we may be able to help you lower your monthly payment and pay off your higher-interest debt.

Fixed Rate

Monthly principal and interest payments remain the same for the entire term of the loan. Which can protect you against rising interest rates. *Monthly mortgage payment may fluctuate due to escrows for taxes and insurance.

FHA

Insured by the Federal Housing Administration an FHA can have less strict credit requirements and qualifications making this loan a great option! *Borrower pays the premiums for that insurance.

Refinance

Mortgage refinancing may lower your monthly payments, which can add up to significant savings. Knowing your options is important, we can help!

VA

A VA loan in most states is a special mortgage program for eligible veterans and military personnel, offering benefits like no down payment, competitive interest rates, and no private mortgage insurance.

Jumbo

With a jumbo mortgage, you’ll get great rates for your big loan. With a choice between fixed or adjustable rates, our jumbo loans offer maximum flexibility for home financing for larger loans.

The Smith Group is not affiliated with or acting on behalf of the FHA or VA or the Federal Government.*
