Lender | Options
The lender you use is just as important as the real estate agent, and it's vital that your lender and your agent work together as a team. The number one reason why a buyer loses his or her earnest money is that the lender is unable to perform as promised. This happens more frequently than one might think.
Our take? Don't be afraid to ask questions and choose your lender carefully. You have the right to compare good faith estimates, but rates and origination fees are not always the most important factors when shopping for your loan. What good is the best rate if the lender can't get the loan done? In-house underwriting, a knowledge of all the loan programs available, and quick turnaround times can strengthen your position during the negotiation. You should be able to expect the lender you select to pick up the phone and communicate with you when needed.
Here are lenders we have worked with and do not hesitate to recommend.
