I already had a pretty low rate but I indulged him by giving him some of my time. Long story short, he suggested refinancing my home to lower the mortgage rate. However, the closing costs were costing points and me a fortune!

Turned out the mortgage closing costs were to the sum of $8,000. Yeah, I was glad I looked into it further.
