Refinancing your home may seem like a good idea, but it can be quite stressful. Who really wants to sit down and crunch numbers and speak with lenders when you already have your home? But the stress it may cause you to refinance your home could be worth it, after all, you do not want to leave free money on the table!

We all know that selling a home can be one of the most stressful things people go through in life, a lot must go right to end up with that “perfect” buyer. Selling a home is not as easy as some people may think, and, for a lot of people, the for sale by owner process ends up being a huge waste of time and money.
