With current experts predicting that a rate cut is a long way off, Eva offers her recommendations for getting the most from a lender in this current high-rate environment.
The duo discuss various strategies, such as comparing lender offers and using that information to either negotiate a lower rate with your existing financial institution or making a switch. Eva also shares how property valuations can be strategically deployed to help refinance, and explains how different lenders will have different approaches to defining a property’s value.
