Mortgage 101
Renewal and refinance get mixed up often β they're not the same thing. π
Renewal: your term is ending and you're signing a new one, usually with the same balance, at current rates.
Refinance: you're changing your mortgage before your term ends, often to access equity, consolidate debt, or change your terms. This can come with breakage costs.
Knowing which one applies to you changes the conversation. Send me a message and we'll figure out which one fits. π¬
