Using Your Mobile Phone to Choose a Mortgage Lender
A Mortgage lender offers a variety of loan programs for buying or refinancing a home. A conventional lender, such as a bank, can provide the highest loan
amounts, and typically the best interest rates, but also has the most
stringent credit requirements
While there is not a one-size-fits-all mortgage product, you can choose
the mortgage lender that has the right loan for you.
1. Determine your loan needs
2. Order a copy of your credit report from the Annual Credit Report
website. Pay off any items that negatively impact your credit rating,
such as collections, judgments, liens, and past due bills.
3. Start with your banker.
4. Use your affiliations to choose a mortgage lender. Contact your
membership office for services such as the Automobile Association of
America (AAA), employer sponsored buying networks or credit unions and
the financial services division from your auto insurance company or
credit card. These providers are often over-looked, however your
membership may provide exclusive benefits that are not available to
others.
5. Compare mortgage options online. Lending Tree and E-loan provide quotes
from several mortgage lenders that will compete for your new loan. You
can view the offers without any obligations and choose the program that
will meet your needs.
