Friends often ask me where they can find expert FHA lenders. But before I share my secret, here's a word of caution! It's NOT by shopping for the lowest interest rate!
**Super Kate Tip: Shouldn't you see your credit score?

Despite this, you want and deserve the best interest rate available. That's a given. But if rate shopping is not an effective way of deciding between different mortgage companies, how should you begin your pursuit?
Easy! You will have better success finding the best mortgage lenders AND the lowest FHA loan rates if you start out asking for trusted referrals.
So begin with these three simple but powerful tips.
Your agent comes in contact with lenders daily and is treated to a bird's eye view of mortgage transactions. You can tap into his or her experiences by asking your real estate agent for a recommendation.
Reminder: Specifically ask who they refer their sons and daughters to.
Strike up a conversation with several neighbors and co-workers, asking who they plan on using the next time they need a mortgage. Be on the outlook for individual names popping up repeatedly.
Reminder: It's a good sign if you keep running across the same FHA lenders.
Think about this. Relatives are a unique source of referrals because they will shoot straight with you. The next family dinner will provide a valuable opportunity to check in with your sister-in-law who just bought her first house.
Reminder: Don't forget this question! "Would you use the same lender again?"
FHA lenders who understand the importance of working in tandem with buyers and real estate agents are crucial to a smooth transaction. Begin shopping for a mortgage lender here at our List Of Mortgage Companies, a nationwide directory.
Keep in mind you are forming your personal dream team to guide you through the process of buying a house and getting a mortgage.
