5-Year Rate Protection Pledge for a Refinance

Here's how the 5-Year Rate Protection Pledge works.

1. Find your dream home

If you've been thinking about buying a new home, now is the time.

You know that home you've been dreaming about – just a few neighborhoods over? It may not be available when you're finally "ready." In fact, the average time that homes are on the market has been falling, meaning homes are selling faster once they hit the market.

Now, there's no need to worry about waiting for the "right time." With NAF's 5-Year Protection Pledge, you don't need to be deterred by higher interest rates. You can buy now and refinance to an even lower rate later, if rates drop at any point in the next five years, with no repeat lender fee or appraisal fee from NAF.

If you're already in your dream home, great! This program works for refinances too, including cash-out refinances.

Visit newamericanfunding.com/5year for full terms and conditions.

2. Finance your loan with New American Funding

It's time to turn "I'm just browsing" into "I'm ready to buy." NAF can help you find the ideal loan for you. Our extensive line of home loan options are as diverse as your needs. We also offer adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) and buydown loan programs to help you ease into homeownership with lower initial payments.

We can even help show you how to become a cash buyer with NAF Cash**, an affiliated company of New American Funding. Becoming a cash buyer has its benefits, including:

  • Getting your offer accepted when there's competition
  • Potentially saving as much as 11% compared to those using just a mortgage*
  • Buying a new home before selling your current home
  • Avoiding storage rentals and hotels in between moves
  • Closing quickly without messy contingencies

3. Lock your purchase or refinance

Just lock your home purchase or refinance by the end of the month, and you'll be eligible for our 5-Year Rate Protection Pledge to you.

Call (855) 293-3884 to get started or start your application here.

No lender fee, no appraisal fee***.

We believe in doing it right – not twice. That means no lender fee or appraisal fee when you refinance with us at a lower rate in the next five years.

If rates drop after you purchase your home, just contact us about refinancing your loan. We can work on getting you a lower rate until five years after you close – with no lender fee and no appraisal fee as part of this program.

Eligibility

Here's our pledge to you:

  1. Purchase by the end of the month
  2. Refinance within five years

Get an even lower rate with no lender fee and no appraisal fee when you refinance with New American Funding and lock by these dates. It's that simple.

Our commitment is to get you a low rate and remove repeat fees.

You want a new home and a low rate, but the market is saying you might have to wait. Don't let higher interest rates get in the way of your dreams. With NAF, you can buy today with confidence, knowing that if interest rates drop at any point in the next five years, we can refinance you into a lower rate with no lender fee and no appraisal fee.

It's all part of our 5-Year Rate Protection Pledge, designed to help you secure your dream home and financing now, and an even lower rate if rates drop in the next five years. It puts you back in control of your homeownership journey, giving you the peace of mind to save money and time when the next market improvement comes around.
