When shopping for a mortgage, it is best not to limit oneself to just the institutions one likes to do business with. Mortgages are constantly being bought and sold. The company that originates the mortgage may only be doing so to earn the up-front fees, but have no interest in servicing the loan. In this case they will sell the loan to another company. While the terms and conditions of the loan by law must remain the same the company to whom the check is written can, and often will, change. If the servicing company is different from the originating company the buyer will be notified through the mail. The best way to shop for a mortgage is to get quotes from the companies offering the lowest rates, find out the fees and costs, then negotiate to obtain the best rates and the best fees. Remember, even though the lenders may be good at sales, the buyer is the patron, and can walk away at any time.
