Should I use home owners preferred lender

[Rohit Kochar]

Hello guys,

So this I just looked at this property and I am really interested and willing to buy it.  Now, my the owner wants me to only go through her lender. I really do not know the reason but that's what my real estate agent told me. Have you guys ever encountered the same scenario?  I was thinking to go to a broker, run my application and get the best loan in the market? I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Rohit
