Re: commitment quest
I would imagine if you haven't given them any money or signed anything stating you're obligated, you should be able to shop around. If you are shopping around, make it clear to everyone you deal with that you're shopping around. I found that banks are willing to compete, as are brokers.

I agree- I would talk to at least 3 people!

Re: commitment quest
We talked to a few different places and went with the place that offered us the best rate. The other people, who were friends of DH, completely understood.

Re: commitment quest
You don't have to go with someone just because they gave you a committment letter. That is just letting you know you are approved and that they are offering you a mortgage. But, from what I've seen, most places want an application fee or some other fee at the time you apply. So unless you want to shell out $200+ for each application, i would just get rate quotes and pick one.
