Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

Tap into your home equity with a HELOC.

A Home Equity Line of Credit or HELOC provides homeowners the ability to tap into the equity they’ve built in their homes. You can take advantage of a HELOC on both primary residences and vacation homes. A HELOC establishes a line of credit that can then be used to finance expenses such as home improvement projects, college tuition, or to create a rainy-day financial resource.

How it works.

• A HELOC is a revolving line of credit.
• You will be given a limit, or maximum amount, that you can borrow based on the equity you have in your home.
• You don’t have to use the full sum of money - you can take only what you need.
• Once the money has been borrowed, you’ll make scheduled payments to pay off the balance, ensuring it is paid in full by the pay-off date or when you sell your home.

If you already have a mortgage with HomeStreet Bank, please reach out to your Loan Officer and they will help you through the process of securing a HELOC. To be able to move forward in the application process, you’ll need to provide your W2, two most recent paystubs, and the completed application (can be completed online or request one in-branch or via email). These documents are required so that the bank can assess your situation and work with you to find the best possible financial options available to you.

HELOCs can provide great financial flexibility for homeowners.
