We are not very familiar with the intricacies of obtaining a mortgage in Florida. Is it necessary to be pre-approved for a mortgage ahead of a serious house search? If so can you recommend someone locally to contact?

We checked with our local small town bank and they would not make a 30 year fixed mortgage on a Florida property.
we made the mistake of using local bank, they had no clue, missed closing date. wish we had used CFB
