I see lots of ads here, but as a successful 10 year mortgage planner, I would have to caution you with using services such as Lending Tree and other online services. I will credit them for a good number of success stories, however in this age of information there have also been a great many horror stories here too. If you are lucky you will only recieve 50 phone calls and 200 emails in the first 24 hours after submitting your online request. If you are one of the unlucky ones then you have your identity stolen by providing your sensitive information. One word of advice if you do decide to use these services, DO NOT give your social security number out until you talk to a person and feel comfortable working with the mortgage professional.
The best advice I can give is to deal with a trusted professional. Ask around with your friends and family and any Realtor, CPA, Financial Planner relationships you have. See who they recommend and why. Then build a relationship with that person, the same as you do with your lawyer or CPA.
Your home and your identity are two of the most valuable assets you have. Don’t trust them to just anyone sitting in a call center.
