Life changes. Mortgages can too.
With Mortgage Refinancing, TEGFCU can help make your mortgage work better for you. Does your current mortgage no longer suit your financial needs? Is it costing you too much? Maybe you want to convert to a fixed-rate mortgage or shorten your home loan term. Let’s make sure your home loan gives you that same “home sweet home” feeling that your house does.
Refinancing your current mortgage loan can benefit you if your financial situation has changed or improved since your original purchase date. If you plan to be in your home long enough to benefit from the savings that a lower interest rate or payment could bring, paying off your current mortgage and getting a new loan to replace it can be worth it.
If you’re interested in seeing if TEGFCU can help you with refinancing your home, apply online to get started immediately or speak to one of our Mortgage Officers for assistance.
Why Refinance My Mortgage?
Refinancing a home loan with a lower mortgage rate can help reduce your monthly payments and your interest over the life of the loan. You may also be able to qualify for a better rate if your credit score has improved. TEGFCU offers flexible term lengths of up to 30 years and low interest rates, which helps shave off the excess on your home mortgage.
If you have a 30-year mortgage loan, you may want to refinance to a 15-year loan to pay it off quicker and save money on interest. That way, you can start paying off the principal sooner instead of dedicating monthly checks to interest payments.
Switching to a fixed-rate from an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage can be a good option if you want a rate that remains stable regardless of market fluctuations. Consider this option if interest rates are expected to rise or if you want to simplify your budget, knowing your payment will be the same each month
You can tap into your home’s equity and use the extra cash to pay off high-interest debt, fund a large purchase, or have easy access to cash when needed.

Easy to deal with. Scott and the team at TEG were a pleasure to work with. They made my re-fi experience so easy and were extremely accommodating to our needs to especially when it came to the closing. I would highly recommend Scott and TEG for anyone needing a mortgage or looking to re-fi as I did.
I started the refinance process with Jeffery in July, and I thought it would be an easy process, but my mortgage co. was a nightmare refusing to send needed letters, and documents or correct their misinformation. Jeffery stepped in to help me straighten out their mistakes. He never gave up when he was told that I couldn’t refinance for another three months. He was able to turn a no into a yes. If you want someone who will fight for you every step of the way, it’s Jeffery. If you want a knowledgeable person, it’s Jeffery. I closed in October with a much lower interest rate. Thank you.
