The refinance loan process is like that of your initial home loan process, only with fewer steps. Essentially, an Evergreen Home Loans™ loan officer will listen to your goals and then help you find the right loan solution to achieve those goals. Your loan application and home appraisal will land on the desk of an underwriter for approval. With the underwriter’s approval, you’ll close on your refinanced loan.
