Buying your first home can be overwhelming when you don’t know what you don’t know. What do you do first? Find a realtor? Find a loan officer? Find a house? Without a doubt, the best thing you can do first is get with a trusted loan officer to get pre-qualified. At Optimal Rate Home Loans, we know the best current options for home loans for first time home buyers in Central Oregon.

The mortgage industry has gone through so many regulatory changes since 2008, that there is a good chance that the process will be somewhat different than you remember. Fortunately, you have found our company. Making the loan process as smooth as possible is what we excel at.

the process



We believe that the loan process should be predictable and painless. The only way for any mortgage company to achieve this is to have a thorough understanding of how the loan process works and to have the right people in the key roles that interact with your loan at various stages of the process.

Understanding Refinance Goals



Deciding whether to refinance your home loan hinges on a clear understanding of your financial goals and objectives. It's crucial to assess what you aim to achieve through refinancing before diving into the process. Each refinancing situation is unique, presenting its own set of pros and cons. At Optimal Rate, we guide our customers through this decision-making process, emphasizing the importance of aligning your refinancing goals with your overall financial strategy.

Crucial Consideration: Refinancing Costs



When exploring the possibility of refinancing, one of the key considerations is the cost involved. Beyond the interest rate, the expenses associated with the refinance play a pivotal role. Beware of lenders claiming a "no-cost" or "low cost" refinance, and understand the distinction between out-of-pocket costs and actual loan fees. At Optimal Rate, we prioritize transparency, providing written estimates of all costs to empower you with a comprehensive view of the financial implications before making a decision.

Beyond Refinance: Alternative Solutions



Not all financial scenarios necessitate a refinance. There are situations where alternative solutions may be more appropriate and effective. At Optimal Rate, we explore comprehensive options beyond traditional refinancing, considering your unique circumstances. Whether it's optimizing your existing mortgage or exploring innovative financial strategies, we provide tailored guidance to ensure that your financial objectives are met without unnecessary refinancing.

At Optimal Rate, our mortgage advisors leverage their expertise to assess these characteristics, guiding you through the myriad of loan programs available.
