<prompt> Human: Hi there - first time home buyer here and wondering if I should shop around for lenders? My realtor referred me to one, but wasnt sure if its the type of thing where I should get quotes from multiple. I know it hits your credit to get loan approval. Can you get approved from multiple lenders at once? How does that work? Seems like rates will be the same..? Halp, want to do the most fiscally responsible thing!  <response>: Yes.Boy that was an easy one.
