Lending Information 4 You

crytle asked:


My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home. A realtor recommended a loan agency to us to get our pre-qualification letter. I can’t find any information on the internet about this company. She wants to meet with us tomorrow night (in her home I might add). I’m extremely leary just handing over all of my personal information to just anyone. My parents told me I need to just get my loan through a bank since chances are, they’ll buy the loan anyway, but my husband says that this woman will work just fine for us. (I think he is being a little naive about this though). How do you know if you’re working with a reputable lender or if I should get away before it’s too late? DOes it seem weird that she wants to meet with us in her home as opposed to an office? Is there anything I should keep an eye on or pertinent questions I should ask her during our meeting?
Please help!!

My MIL means well, but she is constantly involving herself in our affairs, and sometimes without our knowledge or consent. For instance, when my DH lost his job, she went out, without my knowledge, and got me a job. I found out when the company called me up to start work… I am concerned about her lending our personal information to sources unbeknownst to us until after the fact. How do I deal with her in a nice way?
