You want to get this right. I have done maybe a dozen closings (including refis). More often than not, the big banks are calling me or my employer a day before closing to ask for docs that could have been provided weeks before. I take the morning off work, no closing, delayed a few days. It's a nightmare and especially frustrating if you're trying to move into a house.
I have used this guy maybe 4-5 times and never once had an issue. He got me excellent rates and the process was very straightforward. His office is on top of everything. Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Plymouth comes highly recommended. And I learned you can request the glass your vehicles manufacturer uses

Dave Bunk with guaranteed rate or Brandon Parenti with Bestway mortgage. Both great options!

Sure but college students make up maybe 10-15% of the population. Not 50-75% like some places.

First choice mortgage in Stratford is a great option too!

There is a huge population of young adults. Some people think New Haven and Hartford are small cities because, unlike anywhere else in the United States, there's a new "town" every 1-2 miles (that's a relic of the 1600s). However if you consider the population density it's actually quite large. For example if you live in New Haven you can drive or take a train for a few minutes and you're in places like Stratford and Derby with dense populations, breweries, etc., that are rarely considered to be part of New Haven even though they are just a few minutes away. Hartford is a short train ride from New Haven and the two cities combined have 2 million people in their center and immediate suburbs. And basically everything along the train line between New Haven and NYC is as densely populated as any of the largest US urban areas.
TLDR, you're moving to a big city, not a "college town." Enjoy.

David Swanson at MSImortgage. He is especially skilled at patiently walking first-time homebuyers through the process, and is extremely thorough. Couldn't have been happier with his service.

Plymouth glass out of Thomaston. They drive anywhere in the state. Atleast 100 bucks cheaper than satellite or any major companies

Scott Beckwith or Newtown savings (they are not a broker but had ridiculously low rates last month), ask for Karissa Peters if you can
