Best Mortgage rates/deals in Northern Virginia

[Rob Halpert]

I have a fantastic, albeit relatively short, credit history. So I believe i could be approved for the majority of mortgages out there. My question now is how do i find the best deal? 

I've been doing research on various mortgage lenders in my area (Northern Virginia) and i invariable hear that the best deals can be found from the mom and pop credit unions/banks. If anyone in the NOVA area has had a great mortgage buying experience from a specific lender i'd like to hear about it!
