Moving - Think ahead about renewal strategies

If you might move in the next 1–3 years, your mortgage renewal isn’t “paperwork”… it’s a strategy moment.

Most people renew on autopilot: sign, lock in, move on.
But renewal is one of the only times you can adjust your payment, penalty risk, and flexibility without buying or selling.

Before you sign anything, ask these 5 questions:
1. How long am I actually staying?
2. Do I need access to equity or the ability to move in 1–3 years?
3. What’s the penalty if I break this term early?
4. Do I need payment certainty if rates shift again?
5. Am I renewing for convenience… or choosing the right plan for my life?

Because the “lowest rate” doesn’t always win.
The best renewal is the one that protects your options.

If you’re renewing in the next 6–12 months, message me RENEWAL and I’ll send you a quick checklist to take to your lender so you can compare offers properly.
