How do I choose the right mortgage lender in Orange?

Shortlist at least three mortgage lenders in Orange, 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 California, then request a Loan Estimate from each and compare the APR and closing costs, not just the rate.
