someone's upset...consequence of "shopping around?"

well, i'm in the middle of a counteroffer on my first home and during the preapproval I decided to look at 2 different brokers to assist. One broker provided way better customer service than the other and as a first time homebuyer I really appreciate it. So, I let the other broker know today that I decided to go with a diff lender and he was UPSET. he almost wanted to take credit for fixing my credit...knowing i've been doing this for 2 years and just met him 3 weeks ago. Well, his true colors came out and even though i tried to be professional, he was sarcastic and hung up on me.

 

Not sure if I handled the "shopping around" correctly, but I'm happy where I am now Smiley Happy Anyone experience something like this?

You were nice to call them and let them know you wouldn't be using them.

 

I got 4 different quotes and let them all know up front that they would hear back from me if I wanted to proceed with their services.

Oh yeah. I had a LO I was talking with for only a week. I was having a hard time finding one who knew anything about USDA. I had mentioned that I was working with another LO but had not heard back from him in a while. Well this guy got so upset!  He sent me a nasty email back and acted like he was breaking up with me for some other man. GEEZ!!   It was crazy.  

 

I'm so gald that I did finally hear back from my origianl LO. He had a family emergancy but was unable to let me know.  He has busted his butt with our loan is doing an awesome job!
