When shopping for a mortgage, did you compare rates by using www.bankrate.com? Or did you call around? I'm in the middle of finding our loan right now, so any tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks!</font>
I too am in the midst of the process right now. Countrywide seems to offer near-minimal rates (for CA). A couple of other vendors are an eighth of of a point lower, but I am not too happy with their customer service response (e.g., Intuit).
