Refinance Process - Shoreline Mortgage

To help you better understand the refinance process, we’ve listed below some of the major milestones in refinancing you home.

Step 1: Define your goals

One of te most important steps before deciding whether or not mortgage refinancing will benefit you is to determine what your objectives are. Is your goal to reduce your monthly payment or pull cash out of your equity for home improvements or debt consolidation? Are you looking to fix your adjustable rate or get rid of mortgage insurance? Once you determine your goals, you can take a look at the various home loan programs available to decide which loan option helps you achieve those goals. Please be sure to visit our Loan Options page to learn about all of the loan programs options that are available..

Step 2: Inquire online or call one of our Licensed Loan Advisors

Once you’ve defined your goals and researched all of the loan options available, you can submit your information online or pick up the phone to speak with one of our mortgage experts. Your Loan Advisor can answer any questions you have about how to refinance, the loan program you’re considering and can make recommendations to ensure your new loan is structured to accomplish your goals. At this point your loan advisor will show you estimated closing costs, monthly payment figures and a complete numbers summary of what your refinance can look like. We’ll make sure that you understand every detail of your loan program and answer any questions you have before moving forward. When you’re ready, you can apply online or call us at 888-353-1558 to speak with a Licensed Loan Advisor

Step 3: Apply for your loan

You can either (1) Apply Online, (2) call us at (888)353-1558 and a licensed loan advisor will take your loan application over the phone or (3) If you are local to our offices, you can set an appointment and meet with a loan advisor to make application.

Step 4: Receive your forms

A complete set of application forms will be prepared inserting your personal information and transaction numbers. In there will also be all the federally required disclosures like the Good Faith Estimate of Closing Costs and Federal Truth-in-Lending Statement. To expedite things as quickly as possible the application forms will be sent to you via email. The email will contain application forms for you to sign and a checklist of items we’ll need to secure your loan approval. Typically this includes documents relating to your income and asset accounts like W-2 forms, recent paycheck stubs, and bank statements. Return your documents and the process continues to move quickly.

Step 5: We’ll handle it from here

Your loan file will be submitted to the underwriter for review and formal approval. There is no application fee but at this point you will be paying for your property appraisal using a credit card or even a bank debit card. We’ll order the appraisal from a licensed appraiser who is familiar with home values in your area. Title insurance will be necessary, and we’ll take care of ordering the title work for you. We’ll use the title insurance policy to confirm the legal status of your property and to prepare the closing documents. Your assigned Loan Advisor will keep you informed every step of the way via telephone or e-mail

Step 6: Close your loan

After we receive your appraisal, title work and loan approval, we’ll contact you to schedule your loan document signing appointment. This appointment will generally take 30 minutes to an hour and can be done at the convenience of your home, office or approved settlement location. A few days before closing your Loan Advisor will contact you to walk through the final information so that there won’t be any surprises at closing.

That’s all there is to it! Apply Now you will be on your way to the most convenient home loan ever!

Client Testimonials – What Our Customers are Saying

I have dealt with Michael Minkoff in the past. And I found him to be every professional, honest and very forthcoming. This is my third opportunity to have dealt with him on the purchase of Homes and condominiums. And Michael has never disappointed me in any way, during the procedures and purchases of any properties. Over the years I have thought of Michael as more of a friend than a business acquaintance. Michael performs his task over and above its competitors with ease. You guys have a real gem on your hands... Michael Minkoff THE BEST definitely 5 stars.

Our good friend recommended Michael and he helped us to secure a mortgage on our second house in Miramar, FL. We closed our house right on time without any delays. Michael took care of every single detail in the loan approval process and explained very clearly about the different options that was available to us. He guided us in such a professional manner that we didn’t have to worry about anything. He was very prompt and kept us updated throughout the process which went very smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with him and will highly recommend him to our friends too. Thank you Michael!

I worked with Michael to refinance my home. He made the process so easy, smooth and helped me every step of the way. He made this experience so much easier then I could imagine. I will recommend his service to anyone I know that needs a mortgage and I will definitely use him again in the future. Thank you for everything!

Yaron Levin Coral Springs FL

We were looking at so many options for our Refi – 15 Year vs. 30 Year, combining two mortgages into one. We tried working with our bank, but became very frustrated at the inflexibility. We decide to talk to Michael because he had helped us so much with our first mortgage almost 10 years ago. Michael gave us the pros and cons of every option we discussed, and was always open to running multiple scenarios for us. When we finally chose the right financing plan for our needs, Michael guided us through every step of the way.

Henry Jost Fort Myers, FL

By far the most convenient, transparent and responsive mortgage broker I have worked with. I've dont multiple loans with Michael and each time he has exceeded expectations.

Jon Shaller Florida

The service and personal attention we received from Michael Minkoff was exceptional and beyond what we were expecting! His knowledge of the local and national market and his commitment in finding us the best rate helped us in our search for our dream home. As first time home buyers everything was new to us and the most important thing we wanted was someone we could trust to give us the best advice. After patiently going through every figure and explaining what each payment was for, Michael made sure we were comfortable and sure of our decisions. He was there for us every step of the way. I'm glad we chose his services and would recommend him to anyone buying a home.

Thomas Coyle Clearwater, Fl

Our particular residential situation was unusually complicated because we had to choose loan size/package, we have multiple rental properties with mortgages and have multiple income streams not dominated by traditional employment. Michael Minkoff was extremely effective at helping us navigate through all of this complexity in a very organized, helpful fashion to an excellent financial and personal conclusion. Thank you, Michael.

Working with Michael was the best decision we made. He was helpful and informative through the entire process. There were nights that he was up sending me emails about how to quickly repair my credit score, while most people would be sleeping. His dedication to customer service and finding the best mortgage to fit his clients needs is exactly why we will be calling Michael the next time we are purchasing a house.
