Home refinancing is a serious financial decision. If it is done the right way you can save hundreds of dollars every month on your mortgage.

With this in mind make sure to check and ten see if it is still worth it to refinance. Take any of these prepayment fees into account when adding up the total cost of refinancing.
2) Get quotes from different lenders, but carefully.
It is best to apply for some kind of pre-approval from a variety of different lenders in order to ensure you are getting the best mortgage rates, terms and conditions you can. Be sure however that the potential mortgage lender is not going to run your credit history during an initial approval application. Too many searches on your credit may look bad and make it harder to refinance at a good rate.
