Thank you all for your input. It's upsetting that all the lenders want to run my credit beore giving me any info. I'm already pre-qualified with a reputable bank and can't really understand why the seller won't take my offer unless I'm pre-approved the institution of his choice. I'm speculating but it would seem that the seller or agent has some sort of agreement with the loan officer to send biz his / her way and then get some sort of commision. The end-result is that I won't put my offer on the house. - Sun May 11 2008, 15:18
