I recommend sitting down with a few people who come recommended.
I see a lot of people buy houses and the thing that makes the most difference is the level of service.
Unless you have done this many times, the experience can be frustrating and draining.
Go with somebody who meets your needs for information, skill, advice, and cost.
Run your own credit and bring it with you.
Ask for a full good faith estimate every time.
People are typically more averse to lying in writing.
Also, you want to very explicitly ask about their licensing and experience.
If you walk into a bank, no license is usually needed because they are lending their own funds. They can promote a teller to loan officer.
However, recently several “consultants” have come under review from the state because they are originating and advising about loans with expired (or non-existent) licenses.
