Pit,
I'm sure some of you have gone through a refinance recently. Some of you might even work in the industry. So, I come to you asking for help.
I've been to the big online sites that let you type in your zip and loan info and then show you a few options. However, it feels like I must be missing a whole chunk of lenders that don't pay for leads in those channels.
Am I right that there isn't something like a flight search engine for mortgage refinancing? If there isn't, then what is the best way to go about finding the best rates?
Is the mortgage business hyper local? Do I need to contact a bunch of lenders individually?
I feel like I'm stuck in 1994 in using the internet to find the best rates.
What am I doing wrong?
