Episode 64: When is the Right Time to Refinance a Home with Kate Yachini Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

When is the right time to refinance?

Is it the best time to buy?

Or is it the best time to sell?

In this week’s podcast episode, we have with us Kate Yachini, Broker/Realtor at Carolina Realty Group, Hilton Head, South Carolina. For the past 15 years, she has been helping her clients live their dreams in beautiful Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, SC. Not only a Realtor but also a leader in the industry in the Hilton Head area, currently serving as the Hilton Head Area Realtors 2022 President. As the 2022 Hilton Head Area Realtors President, Kate is excited to help her association and its members continue to elevate and thrive and is committed to making your purchase or sale a five-star experience.

Kate tells her short but self-fulfilling prophecy story to us, shares valuable information on the impact of the low-interest rates on the overall market, inventory issues, her involvement as the Hilton Head Area Realtors 2022 President, what started her in the real estate leadership and what she learned since she's been in the business. And more!

With the recent increase in interest rates, Realtors and Lenders may be discussing the possibility to refinance your loan at a later date. Chances are, if interest rates gonna go down, you can refinance your loan to take advantage of the lower interest rate, which ultimately will lower your monthly payment.

And if you've got many years left on your mortgage and are planning to stay put for a while before you pay it off, this is when refinancing to a lower rate loan makes sense.

So if you're thinking about going to the Hilton Head area, need help anywhere in the state of South Carolina, and are considering a home that needs renovation or new construction, this podcast episode is a must-listen.

Short self-fulfilling prophecy story about Kate Yachini and how she got to help other people live their dreams in the Hilton Head community.
