Can I switch mortgage lenders after I've already been pre-approved?
I got pre-approved with my local credit union a few weeks ago, but now another lender is offering a much better interest rate. We haven't found a house yet, so I'm not locked into a specific property. Will starting a new application with this second lender hurt my credit score, or is it normal to shop around at this stage?
