Lenders who win the bid tend to value their potential customer more and are more often willing to offer you a much better product with greater incentives and lower rates than their competitor. You have more options in choosing the loan that's best for you.

Online Loan Shopping Tips:

1. Don't accept the first or second loan offer.

2. Let lenders know if someone gave you a better offer and let them WIN YOU OVER.

3. Next, check rate trends and calculate loan rates and payments according to the lowest rates offered. This can be easily done online at top lending marketplaces online.

5. Ask about fees up front. Use the amortization calculator to figure in fees, insurance and tax payments.


FINDING A GOOD LENDER

It is always prudent to seek recommendations from credible sources regarding the lenders who make you an offer online. Seek individuals who have experienced the loan process and closing with the lender, broker and loan officers in question. Among the questions you could ask are:

1. Did the loan process go smoothly?

2. Were all your questions answered?

3. Was the process explained to you?

4. Were all fees discussed candidly?

5. Were there any undisclosed fees charged at closing?

6. Was every effort put forth to give you a deal to your satisfaction?

7. Were you pressured to sign anything against your better judgment?

8. Were all papers signed before funds were issued?

9. Was the settlement package complete?

10. Was there ample time to review all documents before signing?

11. Did you receive funds in a timely manner?

12. Were certificates of satisfaction and deeds of trust properly registered at the courthouse and filed? Were you given originals upon satisfaction of payment?

If you get a positive response regarding the above and you are satisfied with rates and fees offered you’re likely to come out the winner.
