  • Refinancing a Home

    Why refinance? It may make sense if you can lower your interest rate or if the value of your home has increased. Refinancing can be a helpful tool for home improvement, debt consolidation or simply lowering your monthly payment.

    Reasons to refinance:

    • Switch from an a higher interest rate loan to a lower fixed rate mortgage
    • Change from an adjustable rate loan to a fixed rate to lower your monthly payment
    • Reduce your interest rate and your monthly payment
    • Build equity faster by shortening the term of your loan to 15 or 20 years

    Refinancing is simple. Ready to get started? Contact our loan experts today at 833.759.1941 or 316.440.9690. Or come into any Skyward branch.
