Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right mortgage lender in Atlanta?

Shortlist at least three mortgage lenders in Atlanta, ideally mixing a credit union or community bank with a broker or direct lender. Look up each one's NMLS ID on NMLS Consumer Access to confirm they are licensed in Georgia, then request a Loan Estimate from each and compare the APR and closing costs, not just the rate. Our guide to finding a mortgage lender walks through each step.

What questions should I ask a mortgage lender?
