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

Throughout the entire process of purchasing my first home, Michael gave me the kind of service and guidance that made me feel as though my needs were his highest priority, and sometimes even his only priority. I certainly felt as though Michael made a significant effort to establish trust and a personal rapport with me, which is critically important for me when dealing in financial matters. As it relates to knowledge of the industry and available products, Michael's level of expertise is yet another reason to feel as though your needs are in the best hands. I have already recommended Michael to three people, and plan to continue doing so whenever a friend, colleague, or family member is considering buying a home or refinancing.

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.

I can honestly say Michael Minkoff made my first home buying experience a very pleasant one. From our first conversation he explained each and every option that was available to me and I never felt pressured into any decision. My phone call and email communications were handled in a professional and timely manner. All in all I really couldn't imagine my home buying process being any easier. Even now that the deal is done I would still feel 100% comfortable calling Michael with any questions. He extended his expertise beyond the scope of the business deal and I look forward to contacting Michael for my next home purchase. Thanks for everything Michael! Our hats off to you!!

I have used Michael for a mortgage and refinance on two properties. He is very knowledgeable and quick with responses. Both went perfectly and his numbers were spot on. I even referred him to family and friends, all of whom had a great experience. I plan to use Shoreline Mortgage for future investments.

When I purchased my home last summer, it was the first time I would do so on my own. I had minimal experience with the paperwork and the overall process. The patience extended to me by Michael Minkoff was truly amazing. He walked me through every step of the way. He was knowledgeable, professional, and downright kind. I was and I am very grateful to him for his assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Minkoff. Anybody who does business with him will not regret the choice. There are many companies out there, but the knowledge and service extended by Mr. Minkoff by far exceeds the others in the same industry.

Mercy Jacobson Plantation, Florida

Michael Minkoff was great. He worked through all the different ways we could structure our loan and helped us find the one that was absolutely best for our situation. I really appreciated how quick he was to respond to us throughout the process and yet I never felt rushed, as he made sure we understood everything happening throughout the process. I have been and will continue to recommended him to others I know looking for a mortgage.

Michael went above and beyond to communicate and help us through this process. Everything Michael told us was accurate and there were no surprises. I will never use anyone else when financing another property in the future! Thank you Mike!

Andrew G. Saint Pete, FL

Mike Minkoff did an outstanding job with my two refinances at the same time! I asked many questions and came up with multiple scenarios and Mike was more than happy to answer everything. He went above and beyond and he knows his stuff.
I would suggest using him again without hesitation.

Peter Amendola Key Largo, FL

This was my second refinance with Michael Minkoff and Shoreline and I would not deal with anyone else. He offers great guidance and patience through the refinance process. He gets the job done quickly and will smooth any wrinkles in the process. He is always available to answer any questions or concerns before, during and after the refinance. His professionalism is unparalleled! I highly recommend his services.

Kim Monahan Longwood, FL

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.
