“How Do I Choose A Mortgage Lender?”  When most people think about choosing a mortgage lender, they think about finding the lowest rate.   Of course, financial considerations are important to every home buyer, and you certainly should consider the different rates lenders in your area offer on comparable loans.  But you also want a lender you can trust, and someone you can work with effectively.  So don't let rates be your only criteria. There is little difference between a bank, savings and loan, or a mortgage broker when it comes to the competitiveness of their loan rates.  The difference is in the service they provide.  Here's the process we recommend: Talk to people you know who have bought or refinanced a home recently. Check the newspaper's real estate or business section.  Or just look in the yellow pages under "Mortgages." 

      Talk to a loan officer.  Get a feel for what it will be like to work with, and how they approach your needs.  If you're still uncertain, ask for references recent home buyers like yourself  and talk to them.  Don’t rely on solely someone else’s recommendation.  You, not your friend, must feel comfortable with your lender.  If you do feel good about your lender and trust him,  it will be much easier to trust his advice on what kind of mortgage will best suit your needs.  In today's lending environment you will create more of  a relationship with the loan officer than you will the bank or lending institution.  You want to make sure the person that assists you in obtaining your mortgage is a fulltime committed professional.  One that returns calls promptly and  pays close attention to details.  Your lender wants to help you with your loan.  The only time they get paid is when you get approved.  The more information, good or bad you provide your lender, the easier it will be for them to get an approval.    You want to get the loan approved and move into your new home  as quickly as possible.
