How long before my mortgage renewal date should I contact my mortgage broker?
It is recommended that you contact your mortgage broker three to four months ahead of your mortgage renewal date. Your mortgage broker will provide you with options and advice on things such as interest rates, payment frequency, prepayment penalties, and other mortgage conditions. Your broker can also provide you with a long-term interest rate hold, which can be highly advantageous when you finally renew your mortgage.
What personal goals should I consider when I renew my mortgage?
Many things can occur over the course of your amortization period that might make you want to review your mortgage payment schedule. Anything from a potential move to changing income or retirement can make your current mortgage situation undesirable. Whether you want to pay off your mortgage sooner or leverage your home equity for new financing from the same lender, a John Antle Mortgage Professional can help you navigate the process.
Is there a way to pay off a large amount on my renewal date?

Can I adjust the amount of my mortgage payments on my renewal date?
Yes, when your mortgage renewal date occurs, this is a great time to consider your payment options. Perhaps you wish to increase your payment amount to pay off your mortgage faster or change frequency from monthly payments to bi-weekly payments .
If my mortgage is renewing, is this a good time to look at changing lenders?
Yes, when you are renewing, it is a great time to look at interest rates offered by other financial institutions and lenders. You may be offered a better interest rate and terms with a new lender. Remember, if you decide to switch lenders, your mortgage broker must submit an application for approval.
Can my mortgage renewal be denied?
There could be a situation where your mortgage application for renewal is denied by your lender. For example, if there have been late payments made, your lender could decline to renew your mortgage account. However, if you have made your payments on time and as agreed, there should be no reason to worry.
