Robin Carriger is the organizer and they usually post notifications here on BP.I've posted other lists here several times and can do so again if you need it and can't find in the search function. 

The answers to most of your questions can be found just by searching in BP or online. 

Tons of lenders will do this - just go to findamortgagebroker.com and search your local area.

I'd recommend searching by zip and interviewing an agent or two to see who you're most comfortable with.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).
