Why a Fixed-Rate Mortgage Might Be Right for You
If you’re looking to budget confidently or plan long term—whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, or refinancing—fixed-rate loans offer solid benefits:
- Payment stability: Your rate and principal + interest stay the same, so no surprises when rates rise.
- Long-term peace of mind: Ideal if you plan to stay in your home for many years—your payment won’t increase.
- Better for budgeting: Easier to plan home expenses, when your mortgage payment won’t change.
Fixed-Rate Loan Options We Provide
We offer several fixed-rate mortgage products so you can choose the one best suited to your goals. Here are some of the fixed options you’ll see with The Sherry Riano Team:
30-year fixed – Most popular; lower monthly payments spread over a longer term.
15-year fixed – Higher monthly payment, but you pay off the home faster and save on interest.
Other fixed-term options – Depending on your situation, different term lengths may be available.

FAQs: Fixed-Rate Mortgages
With a fixed rate, your monthly payment for principal + interest stays the same for the life of the loan. That stability protects you from interest rate increases and makes budgeting for your NC home easier.
Yes. Once we agree on a fixed rate, you can “lock in” that rate so you aren’t affected by market fluctuations before closing—assuming all conditions are met.
Sometimes fixed-rate loans have slightly higher initial interest rates than ARMs. However, over time, you can save money if rates rise or you stay in the home long enough, thanks to the rate stability.
Credit requirements vary by lender and product. With us, we review your credit first, help you understand what you qualify for, and compare fixed-rate options—many of which are accessible even if you don’t have a perfect credit score.
If all paperwork, appraisal, and underwriting go smoothly, many of our fixed-rate mortgage clients close in as little as 15 days. Your particular timeline depends on property type, documentation, and state/local requirements.
