Many people are taking advantage of today's single digit interest rates to refinance their home into a fixed rate mortgage and lower their monthly mortgage payment.

No matter why you choose to refinance, simply call Sterling and let one of our knowledgeable loan officers give you the information needed to make a smart financial decision.

Areas of Expertise And Loan Products

Sterling National Mortgage specializes in customizing loans to meet your individual needs. Our wide variety of loan programs, along with our flexibility, make it easy for us to help you even if you have been turned down before. 

Fixed Rate Mortgages
With a Fixed Rate Mortgage, you have the security of knowing your exact monthly payment. This type of loan locks in a set interest rate from the start, so monthly payments remain the same throughout the life of the loan. Budgeting becomes easier because changing market conditions will never cause your interest rate to rise.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage(ARM) is a loan in which the interest rate is adjusted periodically based on a preselected index. An ARM's low initial interest rate usually translates into lower monthly payments compared to most fixed rate mortgages. This can help make a new home more attainable. Sterling National Mortgage ARM's are available with annual and lifetime ceiling caps. Options include adjustable rates that range from 1 month to 10 years. The terms of the life of the mortgage can be as long as 20, 30, or 40 years.

Interest Only Mortgages
With an Interest Only loan, your initial payment applies only to the interest due on the mortgage. This is for a fixed term which usually lasts 5 to 10 years. At the end of the term your payment will increase so that your principal is paid in full by the end of the loan term.

Conforming Mortgages
A Conforming Mortgage complies with specific Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) underwriting guidelines.

Jumbo Mortgages
A Jumbo Mortgage is a home loan that exceeds the limit set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Debt Consolidation
You can consolidate debt by taking out one loan to pay off other loans. This may help you secure a lower overall interest rate on your debt and give you the convenience of only having to pay one loan. You can alleviate your financial situation by paying off high interest credit card debt, auto loans, college tuition, and other personal loans.

Cash-Out Refinance
A Cash-Out Refinance allows you to take out a loan for more than the remaining balance of the current mortgage. This lets you access the equity you have built up in your home.

No Income Check Verification Mortgages
A No Income Check Verification Mortgage allows you to qualify for a mortgage without having to verify income or assets. These loans are mostly used by self-employed borrowers who have difficulty verifying all of their income or by borrowers who get most of their income from commissions or tips.

First Time Home Buyer Programs
First-Time Home Buyer programs put a mortgage well within your reach. Qualifying guidelines are less stringent than with conventional mortgages with very low down payments. 

FHA Loans
FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and allow you to qualify for a larger loan when compared to conventional mortgage guidelines. FHA loans are generous enough to handle moderately priced homes almost anywhere in the country and are open to all qualified homebuyers.

Home Equity Loans  You can borrow against the equity you have built up in your home by taking out a Home Equity Loan, or Second Mortgage. Home equity is the difference between the amount you owe on your existing mortgage and your home's current market value. People typically use Home Equity Loans to do home improvements, pay off credit card debt, or make a large purchase.

 

 

 

 

Testimonials

 

Nikitas Kouimanis, a Mortgage Loan Officer, received the e-mail below from a very happy client.

Nikitas, I wanted to take a quick minute to extend my thanks for your efforts in managing our mortgage refinance.  It had been several years since I had been through the mortgage loan process, and I very much appreciated your willingness to “hand hold” me through the entirety.  Your prompt and thorough response helped me to remain at ease through the process.

 Sincerely,

Linda Casbeer

The e-mail below was written to Eric Schachter by a mortgage customer who wanted to congratulate Nikitas Kouimanis.  Even though the clients live in another state, Nikitas was able to make them feel as though they were just a few blocks away.

Hello,

We wanted to take some time to inform you of how happy our family is with our refinancing process through Sterling and specifically with working with Nikitas.  To be honest, we entered the refinance process with a bit of trepidation, as we weren’t sure what to expect and questioned whether we would get the attention needed while working with a remote company.  Nikitas quickly alleviated our concerns by answering all of our questions both quickly and comprehensively.   He was very responsive and also called directly whenever more information was needed so the process would not be delayed.

Tad works in the IT industry, where faceless interaction for long periods of time is the norm, and we have completed multiple large purchases with remote companies.  However, we believe some companies forget the need to develop a relationship with the customer even though they may never meet them face-to-face.  We can honestly say that Sterling and Nikitas, in particular, did not forget this important part to doing business.  We appreciate all the help we received throughout the process and look forward to continuing to do business with you.

Sincerely,

 Kari & Tad Carlson

Dear Managment Team For Nikitas Kouimanis

We had a pleasure and good working relationship with Mr. Nikitas Kouimanis as our loan officer. He has a great knowledgeable and helpful with our refinancing loan application. He was honest in explaining on how the loan works and time consuming. He has helped us out when we were trying to get our refinancing loan to be approved. We had problems with Ally Corp. who took over GMAC Mortgage Co. They turned down our refinancing loan due to a lack of employment status.

We were glad that you took us in with your bank. I would recommend to others who are need for refinancing, or buying a new home. You did a great job of helping others who are in need of help during the economy crisis. Your bank is #1 in customer satisfaction.

Thank you,

Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Gina Colombo
