Go direct to a few local lenders and ask for their rate with no points. I do and never have paid a "mortgage company" a cent. I can go to bankrate.com or Lending Tree and have some assurance they are fair rates. I can see if you have a sketchy credit report or are trying to really stretch your credit limit you might have to hire a guy to shop your deal for you.
