We could throw stats at you…
But what really matters is this: real people are winning with Stairway Mortgage.
Not just lower payments — but clearer plans, smarter structures, and a true sense of progress.
Here are just a few of their stories.
Meet Amanda – The Debt Consolidator
Before: Amanda was paying $2,500/month across a mortgage, car loan, and multiple credit cards. She felt like she was working just to stay afloat.
After:
We refinanced her home, pulled equity to pay off the high-interest debt, and dropped her total monthly payments to $1,600.
Result:
Amanda saves $900/month and sleeps better at night.
If you’re juggling high-interest debt like Amanda was, use our Conventional Cash-Out Refinance calculator to see how much you could save by consolidating everything into one lower payment.
Meet Marcus & Elena – The Fast Trackers
Before: They bought their home 3 years ago on a 30-year loan. But with a recent income jump, they wanted to get aggressive.
After:
We helped them refi into a 15-year mortgage. Their payment went up just $200/month — but they’ll save over $110,000 in interest.
Result:
They’ll own their home free and clear before their kids start college.

Meet Joseph – The Investor
Before: Joseph had $180K in equity, but no real plan for it. He wanted to buy a second property, but felt stuck.
After:
We structured a cash-out refi that gave him $90K to use as a down payment for a rental property with positive cash flow.
Result:
Joseph became a real estate investor — with one smart move.
