mortgage shopping tips, anyone ?

[Ron Singh]

Hi BP ,

what worked best for you regarding mortgage shopping while in contract ?

if we go shop multiple lenders, wouldn't its going to hurt the credit? as they would all first pull the credit.

details: primary residence, 20% down, 30 fixed , conventional jumbo loan, bay area California

from my lender they quoted 3%, but seeing around 2.3- 2.5% in internet at other lenders.

what do you suggest ?

also, looking for combing insurance (primary + rental +auto) , what would be good place to look for ?
