The entire process was seamless from start to finish. The team was consistently responsive, informative and genuinely kind, I never once felt like a burden. Purchasing or refinancing a home can be a daunting experience, often requiring you to share very personal financial details. Throughout the process, the team handled everything with professionalism and care, ensuring I was comfortable every step of the way. I cannot say enough positive things about both the team and the experience. It was exceptionally efficient, well-managed and stress-free. I highly recommend Allen and his team and will absolutely continue to use and refer them whenever possible.

I can’t recommend Erick Martínez highly enough. He accomplished what many thought would be very difficult by successfully completing my residential refinance in just two weeks. From start to finish, Erick was knowledgeable, responsive, organized, and always available to answer my questions. He kept me informed throughout the entire process, making everything smooth and stress-free. His professionalism, dedication, efficiency, and commitment to his clients truly exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a loan officer who works hard, delivers results, and makes the refinancing process as easy as possible, Erick is the person to call. Thank you, Erick, for making this happen so quickly. I truly appreciate all your hard work and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a mortgage or residential refinance!

Cameron Lewis is the “go to” for all my clients who have ever had the pleasure of working with him. Once you go with Cameron, you won’t ever have to search for another lender when making other purchases or refinancing. Cameron is the smartest, most experienced and resourceful lender in the Asheville area. On top of all that, he’s the easiest and most pleasant professional you could hope to work with! It’s ALWAYS better to go with a local lender when purchasing in the area, and Cameron is by far the best in the area! So look no further, and rest assured that you are making the right choice when you pick Cameron !

Frequently Ask Questions

You’ve got rate/term refinancing questions.
We’ve got answers.

A rate-term refinance is a straightforward type of refinance that replaces your current mortgage with a new one. It’s commonly used to lower your interest rate, change your loan term, or both. Unlike a cash-out refinance, a rate-term refinance is focused on improving the structure of your mortgage rather than pulling equity out of your home.

Homeowners often choose a rate-term refinance to reduce their monthly principal and interest payment, pay off their loan faster, or save money on interest over the life of the loan. For example, you might refinance into a lower rate to improve affordability, or switch from a 30-year loan to a shorter term if your goal is to build equity faster and reduce total interest costs.

What’s the difference between a rate/term and a cash-out refinance?

A rate/term refinance is designed to help you lower your interest rate, shorten your loan term, or both, without taking out extra cash. This type of refinance is ideal for reducing monthly payments or saving on interest over the life of your loan.‍
A cash-out refinance, on the other hand, allows you to access a portion of your home’s equity by taking out a larger loan than your current mortgage balance. You receive the difference in cash, which you can use for renovations, debt consolidation, or other expenses. While a cash-out refinance can be beneficial if you need funds, it often comes with a slightly higher interest rate compared to a rate/term refinance.

What’s the difference between 15-year and 30-year refinance rates?

Typically, 15-year refinance rates are lower than 30-year rates, allowing you to pay less interest over the life of the loan. However, 15-year terms come with higher monthly payments, which might impact your budget. A 30-year refinance offers lower monthly payments, though the total interest paid over time will be higher. Your choice depends on whether you’re looking for monthly savings or want to build equity faster.

What are the best refinance rates available today?

The best refinance rates depend on factors like your credit score, loan-to-value ratio, and current market conditions. Rates also vary between 15-year and 30-year terms, with shorter terms generally offering lower rates. Contact us to get today’s most competitive rates tailored to your profile and refinancing goals.
