Throwback Thursday- Refi Mania!


Over the past week I kept hearing that we're experiencing Refi Mania, so I wanted to find out- what is this Mania, and is this a new phenomenon?

What I found is that Refi Mania was first identified in 1998, and was explained to the world with this article from Realty Times that year: 

To see that the country rallied around “LOWEST” rates at an avg. of 6.5% and that they are at 4.00% now goes to show you how really low they are!  6.5% is not that far from happening again, and it is important to take advantage of the opportunity we have in the existing Refi Mania Market..

To get an honest, ethical and transparent refi or purchase transaction go to www.upfrontmortgageprofessionals.com and find a Certifed UMP who will give you the UMP 10 Point Commitment that will guarantee your transaction!

Christmas Comes Early for Mortgage Brokers and Consumers

The mortgage industry was treated to it’s own version of Black Friday in October with the dip in rates to sub 4% for the first time in almost 16 months!  

The beneficiary are homeowners who now find themselves in an unfamiliar spot they haven’t seen in years.  Lowest rates AND equity!  Lenders have recently been loosening the purse strings to make refinancing and purchasing a bit easier and now with new found built up equity comes many choices to lower your payment, term in months, and even get some cash out for the Holidays.  

The Upfront Mortgage Professionals are here to help you with these important decisions. Certified Nationally by Professor Jack Guttentag, UMP’s deliver service above reproach with guarantees and transparency.  Please look for your UMP at www.upfrontmortgageprofessionals.com
