 Your Realtor can give you referrals for trusted mortgage lenders who they've worked with in the past. But don't go with just one. Get two or three quotes and compare them to see which mortgage lender offers you the best deal. Once you decide on one, the lender will start asking you for documentation, like tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and on and on. It takes a while, so be patient and be ready for additional requests.
