Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right mortgage lender in Portland?

Shortlist at least three mortgage lenders in Portland, ideally mixing a credit union or community bank with a broker or direct lender. Look up each one's NMLS ID on NMLS Consumer Access to confirm they are licensed in Oregon, then request a Loan Estimate from each and compare the APR and closing costs, not just the rate. Our guide to finding a mortgage lender walks through each step.

What questions should I ask a mortgage lender?

Ask about their experience in the Portland market, loan products they offer, interest rates, closing costs, timeline for approval, and their process for handling your application. Don't hesitate to request references from recent clients.
