I vetted out close to 10 different loan officers before finally choosing a lender, and I would test/ask them intentional stupid questions to see if they knew what they were talking about. Some of the questions I asked was to the likes and equivalent of asking a mechanic about muffler bearings, alternator fluid, starter acid, etc.
