   Two hours or less is pretty shocking, but I can see why you’d spend less time shopping for a mortgage. At the end of the day, it’s just numbers. Unlike a car, there is no “touch and feel” to it… No intangibles that you want to experience first hand.

   With a mortgage, either the math works, or it doesn’t (for the most part).

   I guess the bigger problem is that most people probably *aren’t* spending less time shopping for mortgages because they have a good head for numbers and evaluating mortgages is simple….

   What people don’t understand is that negotiation is an option when shopping for mortgage. Figure out what type you want, get a couple of quotes and work the lenders off each other.

   Either way, do research on the biggest money expense you will ever have. (Unless you live in Kansas and plan on paying cash to send your kid to Harvard.)

   I think buying a car takes much more time than a home. The car industry has dome a great job of segmenting the marketplace so there is so much to choose from!
   Inventory of homes and selections of mortgages is much simpler because of much less to choose from. I can show all available in any range in any Boston or Suburban neighborhood inside of 6 hours.
