How to save money when refinancing your Florida mortgage

If you are like most people, you are refinancing your home in Florida to lower your monthly payment, not spend a ton of money on closing costs if you don’t have to. Here are a few tips to help you keep more cash in your pocket when it’s time to refinance!

  • Ask your title insurance agent if you qualify for a “Reissue Credit Discount.” You will need a copy of your “Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance” that was most likely issued issued when you bought your home.
  • You may be able to avoid the cost of a new survey if you have one that is still accurate. A survey can cost from $275 – $500 or more, depending on the size of your property.
  • Shop around. Although Florida has a promulgated rate for title insurance and you won’t see much difference from one company to the next, you are likely to find a difference in charges for the Closing Services Fee, Title Search, Deilvery Fee, Wire Fee, etc. It pays to shop around and ask questions.
