A refinance replaces your current mortgage with a better one: a lower rate, a shorter term, or cash out of your equity. Close a purchase loan with Dwell Mortgage once, and you never pay the lender fee on a refinance with us again. Because paying twice makes zero sense.
We get it, paying for something twice makes zero sense. When you buy your home and finance with us, every future refinance of that first-lien loan with Dwell comes with the lender's underwriting fee waived. Not the first one. Every one. For life.
That changes the refi math permanently: your break-even point comes faster, so a smaller rate drop is worth acting on. When rates dip, Dwell clients move first while everyone else is still doing arithmetic.
The fine print, plainly: it applies to first-lien refinances brokered by Dwell after your original loan has seasoned six months. Third-party costs like appraisal and title still apply. Full terms on the Legal page →
Swap your rate or term without touching your equity: a lower monthly payment, a shorter payoff, or an escape from an adjustable rate before it adjusts.
Replace your mortgage with a larger one and take the difference in cash: renovations, debt consolidation, tuition, or the next investment property.
FHA and VA streamlines cut the documentation and often skip the appraisal entirely. If you have a government loan, this is the fast lane to a lower rate.
If monthly savings repay your closing costs within the time you'll keep the loan, the math works. With no lender fee, it works sooner.
Hit 20% equity through payments or appreciation and a refi can drop mortgage insurance from your payment entirely.
Consolidating credit cards into mortgage-rate debt can free up serious monthly cash flow. Your pro runs the honest math.
Divorce, inheritance, a new income picture. A restructure aligns the mortgage with the life you actually have now.
Refinancing may increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan. Your pro shows you both sides of the ledger.
Not for returning clients. If your purchase loan closed with Dwell, the lender's underwriting fee is waived on every future first-lien refinance with us, for life. Third-party costs like appraisal and title still apply.
Most programs allow it after six months of seasoning, which is also when the no-lender-fee benefit kicks in for Dwell clients.
Typically 2% to 3% of the loan amount in closing costs, less for returning Dwell clients with the lender fee waived. Your Loan Estimate itemizes every dollar before you commit.
If your current rate is low, a HELOC usually protects it; if rates have fallen since you bought, cash-out may win. Compare on the HELOC page →
