Mortgage bankers may have problems just because they are too big or they may operate like well oiled machines. A lot depends on the branch or office you deal with.

What are closing costs? What is an Escrow Account? Closing costs and procedures vary from state to state and from county to county. In some jurisdictions, an attorney represents the lender.
