Pre-approved tomorrow
I'm really trying to get the ball rolling on REI. I recently found an agent (thanks to BP & she's awesome) and asked where I should go to get pre-approved. She in turn referred me to a Wells Fargo lender. My question is will the dollar amount/terms of my loan change from lender to lender? Do I need to search for other lenders or can I have some faith in this lender?

Do your due diligence and shop around for a lender that will best work for you. My experience is that true lenders work harder for you than traditional banks. Unless you are in a special circumstance where Wells Fargo would be the only one to get a particular loan done, I would never ever refer a client to any big bank to get a a loan done.
