To answer the question in your Subject line, the answer is YES. You should always shop for the best mortgage rate.
However, the best practice is to do all your rate shopping within a small time frame, say 1-2 weeks. That way, all of your inquires will be lumped together and potential creditors will see that you are rate shopping for one mortgage, not seeking a lot of separate credit lines.
Nowadays, people can shop for the best rates and complete the entire process onine. I suggest you look into Quicken Loans to start.
Thank you
