About Us

Our Story

Alt Refi was founded with a simple mission: to make homeownership more affordable and accessible through innovative alternative refinancing solutions. We believe in transparency, customer-centricity, and leveraging technology to provide personalized financial options.

Our journey began in 2023 when Andy and Debby saw an opportunity to help homeowners save on their mortgage payments by offering alternative refinancing methods. With backgrounds in finance, technology, and customer service, they combined their expertise to create a company that provides tailored refinancing options designed to meet the unique needs of each homeowner.

Since then, we've grown into a trusted partner for homeowners across the country, always staying true to our original vision. We're passionate about helping you achieve financial freedom through smarter alternatives to refinancing, and we're committed to providing our customers with the best experience possible.
