What Is the Rate Review Process?

Homeowners looking to work with a mortgage expert to conduct a mortgage rate review may want to know what the process is like. The mortgage rate review process is exceedingly similar to the home loan application process and exists to determine if making any changes to the borrower’s current mortgage would prove to be beneficial.
