Overview

Your Home Has Done the Work — Now Make It Work for You

Refinancing replaces your existing mortgage with a new one — at a better rate, different term, or with access to your equity. When done at the right time, a refinance can save tens of thousands over the life of your loan, reduce your monthly payment, or fund renovations, debt consolidation, investments, or other goals.

At Lumen Mortgage, we handle every refinance in-house from application through funding. No third-party processing delays, no surprises — just a clear timeline, transparent costs, and a dedicated loan officer guiding you through.

Who This Is For

Current homeowners whose rate is higher than today's market
Homeowners who want to shorten their loan term
Borrowers who want to eliminate FHA mortgage insurance
Homeowners wanting to access equity for renovations, college, or debt consolidation
VA borrowers seeking a streamline rate reduction (IRRRL)
FHA borrowers seeking a streamline refinance with minimal paperwork

Key Features

What Makes This Program Work

Rate & Term Refinance

Reduce your interest rate, shorten your loan term from 30 to 15 years, or both. The most common refinance with the clearest ROI.

Cash-Out Refinance

Access up to 80% of your home's value in tax-free cash. Common uses: renovation, debt consolidation, investment, education.

PMI Elimination

If you've crossed 20% equity and are still paying PMI, a conventional refi can permanently remove it — often with little or no rate increase.

VA IRRRL & FHA Streamline

These government loan streamlines require minimal documentation and no new appraisal — the fastest way to lower your rate.

Fast In-House Close

Our in-house processing and underwriting team targets 21–30 day close timelines — significantly faster than the industry average.

No Prepayment Penalty

All of our refinance loans come with no prepayment penalty — so you can refi again or pay off early without cost.

"With mortgage rates at historic lows, I decided to refinance. Unimpressed with my current mortgage lender's rates (Bank of America), I did some digging and found great rates that would need to be brokered privately. I remember a friend mentioning Lumen, so I fired off an email, and what do you know - ~2 weeks later I closed at a fantastic rate! 2 weeks!"
