| E-Loan is handy if you plan to get a loan through one of these lenders. If you are getting a loan the traditional way (not through the Internet), you still need to comparison shop. You can find a handy worksheet listing the key elements to compare at Realtor.Com. Type www.realtor.com and press Enter. Click the Link for Do the Main under the For Consumers heading in the main part of the home page. Then click the Mortgage Comparison Chart link. You can print the worksheet and use it to compare loans. |
