How to Compare Mortgage Lenders

Choosing a mortgage lender shouldn't be based on the interest rate alone. Loan programs, lender fees, closing costs, communication and service can all affect your financing experience and the overall cost of your mortgage.

I encourage buyers to speak with at least three lenders and compare their Loan Estimates whenever possible. When reviewing your options, consider the interest rate and APR, estimated closing costs, lender fees, loan terms, mortgage insurance when applicable, and how responsive the lender is to your questions.

A competitive rate is important, but so is having a lender who communicates clearly and can keep your financing moving throughout the transaction.

Questions to Ask a Mortgage Lender
 

  • What loan programs might fit my situation?

  • What interest rate and APR are being quoted?

  • What lender fees and estimated closing costs should I expect?

  • Will mortgage insurance be required?

  • Can the interest rate be locked, and under what terms?

  • What documentation will you need from me?

  • What should I avoid doing financially before closing?

  • Who will be my primary contact during the loan process?
