Understand, there are many mortgage companies out there. Far more than we can discuss here, so you will need to do some research on your own as well. There are many types of mortgages for a home buyer. Some will be better suited for you, while others will be of no help to you at all. Most people don't know that mortgages are given by more than just banks. There are private lenders and other institutions as well. Each of them will have different pros and cons. The good thing is that there are so many lenders out there, you should be able to negotiate yourself a good deal.
Start by contacting some of these lenders and asking for mortgage quotes. There are other questions you should ask of them as well. You should ask about their rates, like closing costs and appraisals. Only after getting a few quotes should you start to decide which mortgage company is right for you.
You may get deals from each lender that are far different from each other. Different points, different rates, and more. Don't let this confuse you, just take your time and you will find the best deal for you.
The one thing you can do to get the most accurate quotes as possible are to give the terms that you are looking for, so you are comparing apples to apples across all the lenders.
As it was back in school, there is no such thing as a stupid question. The only stupid thing is not asking a question. A mortgage is probably the largest investment you are going to make in your life, take your time. Also, keep track of the quotes you are getting, so when you do choose which lender to go with, you will know what to expect. And, you can compare their quote with their actual cost. Make sure that it is the same.
Also, don't be afraid to ask for things in writing. This way you can easily show them what they had given you, and make sure that they keep their word. We all know that people have a tendency to break their word, so let's not have that happen to you.
There is one last thing that should be pointed out. Make sure that you read all the fine print. Although it is unlikely, there is a chance that the lender has included something that was not explained to you fully.
