You can get one preapproval then ask for a comparison GFE from a couple of more loan officers. Just let them know you are preapproved(and credit score) and shopping.

Pay attention to the fees in the 800s section of the GFE. The rest are not controlled by the loan officer.

Well, I wonder if its necessary to get mutiple quotes if you're using an FHA loan. I know the origination and title fees can be different but does that make a big difference in your monthly mortgage costs? Or does that just affect the amount you have to pay at closing?

Hi Fay!

For the first lender that pulled your credit, you have 30 days from that day. It will only count against you once regardless of how many lenders pull your credit. They do that so it gives you enough time to shop and compare different lenders.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I specialize in the sales of Brand New Homes in the DFW area! If you're looking in the Arlington area, there is a community that is having some great incentives on inventory & build jobs!!

Please feel free to call or email me at your convenience!

I hope to hear from you soon!
