Decision checklist

1

Quote details

Lender fees, APR, rate lock, and loan costs should match the Loan Estimate.

2

Lender comparison

Competing refinance offers can show whether the proposed terms are market-competitive.

3

Timeline sensitivity

Shorter and longer stay periods can materially change the result.

4

Lock readiness

The strongest case exists when the result still works after quote verification.
