Where to get a VA home loan.

Posted by admin on August 31, 2009

VA loans are made by private lenders such as banks, mortgage companies and savings and loan associations.

They are not made through the Veterans Administration as I have found some veterans to believe.   Also, I have noticed that some companies who advertise through the veterans websites are just lead companies who gather email addresses and sell prospects to local lenders who pay for leads when someone requests information about a VA loan from their website.

For the best service, find a local lender.  Shop around for a company in your area where you can go into their office and meet face to face.  Most people want to do business with someone they feel comfortable with.  Does this person have a website or blog that allows you to get to know them a bit before you decide to call them?  I know that when I am searching on the Internet for a service I like to go with someone who’s personality and style fits with my own.  I tend to look for people who are down to earth (not too stuffy).  I like to be handled with care and thoughtfulness.  I want enough information so that I can make my own decision.  I never want to be “sold” or intimidated into buying a product. Some sales people need an attitude adjustment. Attitude shows and the customer feels it.  A good sales person accommodates the needs of the customer.
