7. Request a mortgage referral from your real estate agent
Your first instinct may be to sign up for a mortgage at a bank where you have a checking and savings account, or maybe the bank with your credit card. On the other hand, different banks sell various mortgage packages and goods, so you'll have to browse around to find the one that best suits your needs.
Finally, you have the choice of using a mortgage lender, which isn't even a bank. Your commercial real estate agent will recommend a company that can best meet your needs and moves into a new home soon.
