Has getting approved always been so impersonal? I called our two banks today to make an appointment so we can ask questions, run some numbers, etc., and both said they can only answer questions over the phone.
Re: Mortgages
When I got mine (before I was even engaged) I just called the bank, said I found a house and it was this much and wanted to see if I could qualify, I never even heard a yes or no, it was just, "ok we need this info from your past years employers, ssn, etc. Up until the day I signed I never even heard an actual, "yes you are approved!" But also, I'm from a small town and this bank knows us and my family (business owners in town and my parents business account is at this bank) so I figured I would get approved, but I was on pins and needles until closing day!

We met our lender at closing, but we did everything from Mexico during our wedding/honeymoon so everything was done via skype or email.
It seems weird that if you wanted to meet that they would do everything over the phone. I hate giving all my personal info out over the phone!

Planning Bio My Blog
Well we talked to our two banks and both would do it over the phone. I can understand ING a little better than the credit union Eric has been with for 27 years.
Instead we just applied to be prequalified from the bank he works for. At least he'll have some sort of connection there in case he wanted to talk to someone face to face.
Thanks for all the replies.
