Mortgage Programs
RateRelief
GRB’s exclusive RateRelief and RateRelief+ programs give prospective homeowners the confidence to buy now and refinance with ease should rates drop.
Buy With Confidence. Refinance With Ease. RateRelief & RateRelief+
With interest rates fluctuating, it can be difficult for buyers to feel confident about when it’s the right time to enter the housing market. The real answer is there’s never a “right time.” Rates have and will always vary throughout the years. But regardless of the rate, a home is an investment that endures.
With GRB’s RateRelief Programs, buyers can rest assured that their decision to purchase a home is well supported and backed with confidence by a local community bank. Eligible applicants that purchase a home at current rates will have the opportunity to refinance their mortgage through GRB at no additional cost, should rates drop between the time of closing to December 31, 2027.¹
A Lower-cost Path to Refinance
The purpose of the RateRelief Program from GRB is to ease interest rate concerns for current buyers and provide a clear path to refinance should mortgage rates fall between the time of closing to December 31, 2027.
With RateRelief, approved applicants will have the following fees waived when applying for their refinance with GRB:
- Processing Fee
- Underwriting Fee
- Appraisal Fee
ADDED BENEFITS
RateRelief+ Lender-Funded Buydown Program
RateRelief+ includes all the benefits of a RateRelief refinance and adds a 1-0 lender-funded temporary buydown for qualified buyers. The cost of the buydown is built into the pricing, so no buydown funds are required at closing. In year one, the interest portion of the monthly payment is reduced 1% from the note rate.² This provides buyers with a lower initial monthly payment for the first 12 months of the mortgage.
To be eligible for GRB’s RateRelief Programs, borrowers must adhere to the following:
-
Close a government-backed (FHA or VA) or conventional mortgage loan
(portfolio loans are not eligible) - Initial program application submitted and approved within the active program window3
- Apply and qualify for a refinance with GRB
- Successfully complete seven (7) on-time mortgage payments prior to closing on a refinance
