Before you choose

Whether a refinance pays off depends on closing costs, how long you keep the loan and the new rate; cash-out and buyout refinances have their own equity, seasoning and title rules.

  • What are my total closing costs, and how many months until the lower payment pays them back?
  • Can I take cash out, and how much equity do I need to keep?
  • If I am buying out a former spouse or co-owner, what does the divorce decree or agreement need to say?

How this list is ranked

Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a RI license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), RI is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (the earliest state license record in the regulator rosters we hold, or years the loan officer states) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.

Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?specialty=refinance&state=RI. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
