Selling My House – Can I Refinance at the Same Time?

refinance

We place our house on the market a few months ago – no offers yet. We have since found a new house in another area (we have to go there for work). I want to refinance our current house to lower the payments because paying two mortgages is not fun. Can I refi if our house is on the market? Any suggestion as to lenders who do this? We have exceptional credit – just want to save some money during our transition until the current house sells. Thanks.

Does an Insurance Agency Need to Take Pictures of the Inside of the House When Dealing W/ Refinancing?

my landlord tried entering my apartment without telling us, but was unsuccessful. they told us that an insurance agency needed to come in because they were trying to refinance their mortgage. we are verrry suspicious of them selling the house behind our backs. i was wondering if this is normal. thanks
