It almost feels like I am out trying to get a loan;(   Ultimately, I am the customer and it is been a great experience when treated like one, I am pretty sure that since I am paying all the fees, points, environmental, appraisals- this puts me the position of "Customer"  most banks do not realize this and instead treat you like they are doing you a favor for even letting you apply.
