Choose a lender that knows the business

Unless a buyer is also in the financial markets business, he depends on the lender to know the market well enough to provide him the information that he needs to know. You certainly don't want a lender telling you that every other lender charges an appraisal fee to the buyer only to find out that the lender down the street makes the seller pay it, and you ( life insurance ) could have saved a great deal of money. That doesn't mean that every lender is going to know everything about what his competitors are doing, but you want someone who has a good idea what the market trends are.

The lender should be compassionate to your needs

If you are applying for your home loan because you have sold your current residence or your apartment lease is running out, the lender should be compassionate to your time restraints and do his best to assure approval prior to that time. It isn't good business if the lender knows you must move by a certain date and does not make the effort to ( mortgage quotes ) finalize your home loan so that you can meet that deadline. If the lender fails to meet the buyer's deadline, he is starting with a very poor relationship, which is not a good thing for something that is going to continue for several years at least.
