Hello. Do you have a real estate agent you are already working with? If so, ask them who would be a good lender. They often have good information for good local lenders to work with. If you are not working with an agent, you might start the process of interviewing agents to find someone you trust and would be a good fit for you. It is so helpful to have a good real estate agent working with you.

Amanda Courtney · Answer

Start by asking your real estate agent (like me!) for a trusted local referral. A good mortgage lender should be responsive, transparent, and experienced with your loan type—whether it’s conventional, FHA, VA, or jumbo. I always recommend interviewing at least two lenders to compare rates, fees, and communication styles. Local lenders tend to close faster and understand regional underwriting quirks better than big banks.
