Closing on a refinancing home loan is a sign of accomplishment, evidence that your application was a success. As you know from buying your home, it can also be a puzzling experience. Few people really understand the process of closing – also known generally as settlement or escrow – and most borrowers do not read the many and varied documents that flash before their eyes.
If you’re a first-timer homebuyer, the whole process of closing on your mortgage may seem complex and perhaps even intimidating, but millions of homes go to settlement each year and there are a lot of people in place to help you.
