Refinancing Your Mortgage

Your home is one of your biggest investments. Refinancing can be a powerful way to make the most of it. Whether you want to lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, shorten your loan term, or access your home’s equity, Novus is here to help you explore your options with clarity and confidence.

With clear guidance, modern tools, and loan officers who take the time to understand your goals, we make refinancing feel simple from start to finish.

Why Homeowners Choose to Refinance

Cash-out Refinance

Increase the amount you are borrowing by pulling from the current equity in your home and take out the difference in cash.

Lower your interest rate

A lower rate can reduce your monthly payment and may help you save money over the life of your loan.

Pay off your home faster

Choosing a shorter term can help you build equity more quickly and pay off your mortgage sooner.

Convert to a different loan type

Move from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage, switch from an FHA loan to a conventional loan, or explore other options that better match your long-term plans.

Tap into your equity

A cash-out refinance allows you to use your home’s equity to fund home improvements, consolidate debt, or support other financial goals.
If you are unsure whether refinancing makes sense for you, a Novus loan officer can help you understand your options and run a personalized analysis.

2. Review Your Current Mortgage

We help you compare your existing terms with potential new ones so you can make an informed decision.

3. Apply and Provide Documents

Submit a simple, secure application. You’ll need to provide updated income and asset information, along with your current mortgage statement.

We verify your information, order an appraisal if needed, and prepare your loan for approval.
