First things first, so ask your local realtor for a referral to an agent in Huntsville so you will not have to hunt down a new agent before arriving, and ask your Denver agent to have her southern counterpart email you a list of mortgage lenders that she knows of and that have great reputations with their clients. Once you receive the list start contacting the financial institutions to see whom you would like to do business with in the future. Granted, the local realtor may be getting a commission on referring you to some of the lenders, so it may be wise to shop for a couple more mortgage companies that may not be biased in this manner.
Do a cursory search online for the local chamber of commerce, and contact the states consumer affairs division online to see if they have a list of preferred lending companies that you can work form as well. Also, call the location that your new job position will be located, and ask to speak to your new boss. He or she may be of great help since they live in Huntsville, and can speak from experience since they have already gone through the same or similar process in recent years.
