Before we come to refinance quote, a brief on refinance will be very useful. A refinance loan is a mortgage loan that replaces one or more existing mortgages on your home.

People generally opt for refinance for the following reasons:
- To take advantage of fall in interest rates by availing a lower rate mortgage instead of the existing higher rate mortgage
- To get access to the blocked equity in house, especially when there is appreciation in the value of the property.
- To switch from fixed rate mortgage to adjustable rate mortgage and vice versa or to prolong the term of loan.

Getting a refinance quote is the preliminary step to refinancing.

A refinance quote is the estimate of the interest rate at which the lender can provide you the refinance loan. You can get the refinance quote from any mortgage broker or mortgage lender, absolutely free of cost. You can get them over the phone or even online. Online refinance quotes are the easiest and quickest. There are sites that provide you refinance quotes from more than one lender. This way it is easier for you to compare and choose the best available option.

You will require keeping handy the following information before you ask for refinance quote:
- The current value of your property on which you want the refinance quote.
- Purchase date of your property.
- Type of property you own i.e. single family or multiple family dwelling condo, etc.
- Your credit score.
- Details of your existing mortgage.
- Annual house hold income and your job details.
- The type of refinance loan you want - Fixed rate of adjustable rate.

For higher accuracy of the refinance quote you get, it is necessary that you give legitimate credit score. A legitimate credit score is the one that is less than 30 days old. Don't worry even if your credit score is poor. You will still get a mortgage refinance. But in case of poor credit score your refinance quote is likely to be higher by 2% to 6% than that given to a person with good credit score.

Some quick tips to help you while you search for refinance quotes:
- Do not be in a hurry to accept the first refinance quote that you get.
- Shop around. These days the competition between the lenders has become very stiff. Thus there are many chances that you find some lenders offering lower refinance quote than others.
- Ask what is the pre-payment penalty. Some lenders might offer you very low refinance quotes but they might charge you a high penalty when you switch to other mortgage.
- Do not pay. All the lending institutions provide you with refinance quote for free.
- Do not hide facts. The more correct and factual your information is the more accurate will be the refinance quotes provided to you.
- Refinance quote is just an estimate. It is not the same as the final interest rate at which the refinance loan will be provided to you. Your refinance quote is also likely to change during the processing of your loan.
- Verify details about the lending institution. It is always advisable to check the ratings of the prospective lending institution.
