A Guide to Identifying a Short List of Home Care Software Vendors

Posted by Crystal Parks on Dec 16, 2014 10:00:00 AM

When someone is looking for financing on a home purchase, it is common practice is to select three to four lenders, and get a quote on APR, fees, points, and closing costs. People choose to do this to help ensure the decision they’re making is a well-informed one. But how do they narrow down the list of lenders (literally in the thousands) to a manageable three or four? They might choose their own bank (deciding factor: trust), a lender who has a good reputation in the industry (deciding factor: knowledge), and a lender who advertises an attractive rate (deciding factor: intrigue).
