Frequently Asked Questions about Refinancing
Q: What should I know about a HARP refinance?
A: Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have adopted changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) and you may be eligible to take advantage of these changes. If your mortgage is owned or guaranteed by either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, you may be eligible to refinance your mortgage under the enhanced and expanded provisions of HARP.
You can determine whether your mortgage is owned by either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae by checking the following websites:

For Freddie Mac: http://www.freddiemac.com/mymortgage
Q: What are the HARP eligibility requirements?
A: First, you need to own and occupy the home you want to refinance. In addition, you must meet the following requirements:
• Your loan must be owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae.
• Your mortgage must have been sold to Fannie Mae on or before May 31, 2009.
• You have not previously had a HARP refinance, unless it was a Fannie Mae loan that was refinanced under HARP between March—May, 2009.
• You have not been more than 30 days late on your mortgage payment in the past 12 months.
• You are up to date on your mortgage payments when you apply.
• You can prove that you’re able to make your new refinance payments and that refinancing will improve the long-term affordability or stability of your loan.
• Your current loan to value (LTV) ratio must not exceed 125% and your loan must currently be serviced by a specific servicer. Call for more information.
