Mortgage quotes
How many quotes did you get before choosing your bank/broker?
I think we are going to try two brokers and three banks? Is that too much?
IM SO CLUELESS!!

Re: Mortgage quotes
I talked to at least five different brokers before I chose mine.
The banks you don't even have to check them out in person... all the major banks post their interest rates on their websites along with their good faith estimates.

Re: Mortgage quotes
YOu shouldn't look at more than 3 only because each one that you go to will pull your credit & too many pulls of credit could affect your score which you don't want to do.
Good luck

Re: Mortgage quotes
We checked with three brokers and ended up with a mortgage banker because they had the lowest rate.

DEFINITELY NOT TRUE.
Just as long as all the pulls are dpne within 30 days of each other they are treated as one pull by the credit agencies.
This is called mortgage shopping.
