Rocket Mortgage Refi Review

Fully digital refinance with rate alerts and fast closings. Independent Rocket Mortgage Refi review: 4.5/5 for refinance.

By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief.

Our verdict

Speed is the reason to refinance with Rocket: closings can happen in as few as 15 days, and RateShield holds your rate for 90 days while it processes. You'll pay 0.5% to 1% in origination, and the rates shown assume 740+ credit and 20%+ equity. Run the fee against a no-fee lender's quote.

Skip it if paying origination fees bothers you, or if you care more about the lowest rate than a fast close.
