Homeowners Only! What was the most important variable that made you choose the mortgage lender?

Loan officer was a good person. I asked her about ';committment fee'; and ';loan origination Fee'; etc. She said ';those are junk fees';. She made them go away. I also asked about having a title search and then having to buy title insurance for the bank (now that's a scam.) She was sympathetic, but that's a tough nut to crack.
