Refinancing your mortgage can be a powerful financial move: lowering your monthly payment, shortening your loan term, or tapping into your home’s equity.  But what if your credit isn’t perfect?  Many homeowners assume they’re “stuck” with their current mortgage if their credit score isn’t ideal. The truth is, refinancing with lower credit is possible, and that’s where my team and I can help.

As a mortgage loan officer, my job is to help you understand your refinance options and to help find the best path forward for you – even if your credit isn’t where you’d like it to be.

Here’s how I can help:

1. Review Your Credit and Spot Opportunities

I’ll start by reviewing your credit report with you and identifying what’s holding your score back. Often, small changes like paying down certain accounts or disputing errors can quickly improve your standing. Together, we’ll create a strategy that gives you the best chance of qualifying and receiving the best Interest Rate.

2. Explore FHA and VA Refinance Options

Not all loans are created equal. Some programs, like FHA Refinances or VA IRRRLs, are more forgiving with credit requirements. Because I work with a variety of loan products, I can guide you toward programs that make sense for your situation. Additionally, if your current mortgage is already an FHA or VA loan, you may be able to refinance with less paperwork, no appraisal, and more flexible credit standards.

3. Use Your Home Equity to Your Advantage

If you’ve built up equity, that can work in your favor when refinancing with a low credit score. I’ll help calculate your equity position and explain how it can strengthen your application. In many cases, homeowners qualify for better options simply because their home’s value has risen and they have much more equity than they did when they purchased.

4. Explore Creative Solutions

If your credit score is making refinancing tough, I’ll walk you through other solutions, like adding a co-signer or waiting just a few months to make strategic improvements to your credit score before applying.   And I can use our score-simulation software to help you find the least expensive and most impactful way to improve your credit score.

5. Shop Loan Programs on Your Behalf

Every lender and loan program has different requirements. Instead of you applying everywhere and risking more hits to your credit, I’ll shop around for the best rates for you. My access to multiple lenders offering different loan options means I can find the best match for your unique situation.

BONUS!   I can do all this with a Soft Pull on your credit, so you will not even have an inquiry showing up on your credit report.
