If you do not already have your own personal lender - and let's face it, most of us don't - I recommend that you check out the companies listed below.  Getting pre-approved for financing is one of the single most important things you will do in the homebuying process.  NOTHING is more hearbreaking than to find the home of your dreams and then discover that it is $20,000 over your mortgage approval. It is much better and happier for everyone to find out up front what you can comfortably afford and then search for your dream home in that price range.
