Query regarding credit pull for pre-approval
If multiple lenders hit my credit report at the same time [during the same week] will it be considered a single credit pull or multiple hits? I have a mortgage broker but was wondering if I should check with another mortgage lender to make sure I am getting the best deal. Not sure if it is a smart or stupid decision.

The credit algorithm allows you to shop. One pull is equal to 5 in a 45 day period.
