Trying to find the perfect source for your mortgage is a combination of interviewing loan officers, finding the best lender for you and your needs, and of course finding one that makes you feel comfortable. Deciding who to go with in the end is a personal and financial choice. Below are the 6 steps that will lead you to finding your ideal loan officer.

1. Create a list of loan officers by asking family and friends to recommend lenders they have used in the past.
2. Using the 10 questions you should ask a loan officer, interview each potential lender.
3. Thinking of your needs, compare each lender with a list of pros and cons.
4. Once you believe you have narrowed down to your ideal loan officer, get a prequalification letter ready before you go home shopping.
5. Make sure you have all the needed paperwork ready and organized.
6. Do not feel pressured into staying with one lender. If you feel like you have changed your mind, you can always go a different course.
