Local tips

Ask for a Loan Estimate, not a worksheet. The Loan Estimate is a regulated form that makes lenders comparable.

If you plan to sell or refinance within five years, paying points rarely pays off.

Shop homeowners insurance yourself. The lender's quote in the estimate is often a placeholder.

Never wire closing funds based on emailed instructions without calling the title company at a number you looked up yourself. Wire fraud targets Florida closings regularly.
