Refinancing


Whether you want to lower your monthly payment, shorten your term or would like to cash-out, start by finding how much you qualify for. We will make it easy for you by offering three easy ways to learn more about your options. You can apply online, schedule a face-to-face appointment at one of our locations or call us and one of our Mortgage Loan Professionals can take your application over the phone.

Traditional Refinance
A traditional rate and term-only refinance may help you lower your rate or change your loan terms. Refinancing to a lower rate could reduce your monthly payment. For example, if you change from a 30-year mortgage to a 20-year mortgage, you could possibly save a lot of money in interest over the life of the loan. Southern Bank of Tennessee offers a variety of options for a rate and term refinance with competitive rates, including programs for conventional loans, FHA and VA Loans.

Cash Out Refinance
Want to tap into your equity? Cash-out refinancing allows you to access the equity in your home and get cash at closing. Your existing home mortgage and any other liens on the property are paid off and replaced with a new mortgage. You can do lots of things with a cash-out refinance! You can renovate your home, payoff credit card debt and many other things by accessing your equity. There are Conventional, FHA and VA cash-out options. Contact one of our professional mortgage loan officers for more details.
