It is
imperative to speak with at least one mortgage lender of your choice as the first step in the home buying process and get approved for a loan. Choice of a lender became crucial with the new contract form (September 2006) which exposes you to automatic loss of your earnest money deposit if settlement does not occur on the agreed Settlement Date for
any reason other than Default by the Seller(s). I offer the following for your consideration:

MetLife - Greg Fritz
703-624-5959 - or - gfritz@erols.com

George Mason Mortgage - Jim Foley
301-841-1302 - or - JFoley@gmmllc.com

Sun Trust - Patrick Maloney
703-277-6655 - or - Patrick.Maloney@SunTrust.com
The lenders above have served my clients well in the past. Their rates and fees should be competitive. Their level of service should be exceptional! While I am happy to provide information on mortgage companies, home and radon inspectors, and settlement agents, be assured my sole concern is to put you in contact with those who will serve you well. I never receive any more than a "thank you" from any of these people.
