Searching for lenders

[Brandon Roundtree]

When searching for lenders, is it best to seek a lender that does not sell their loans to a 3rd party lender? Instead, should you find a lender that you can build a strong relationship with for future deals?

@Khari F. They should understand your financial scenario and have the products that will work for you.  I also believe communication skills are a must when picking your lender.  I wouldn't want to work with a lender who doesn't return calls and is hard to get a hold of. 

@Brandon Roundtree In my opinion, building a relationship is more important than whether or not your loan is being sold to a servicer after funding.  Once you have a relationship with a lender they know all of your details, goals, and situation particulars so it becomes easier for you.
