 I feel your pain. I did a mortgage refi through one of the online
 mortgage places, and as soon as I entered my cell phone number and hit
 <ok> I thought "Oh, no - what have I done?"

Same thing - calls within minutes, pushy annoying sales people trying to
get me to commit NOW.

I ended up calling the mortgage broker I used for my first mortgage (he
kept sending me holiday greeting emails, so I had his email saved).
Sorted the refi out quickly, painlessly, and took care of the details -
I'm sure the others wouldn't have been so service-oriented.

And I got a hell of a deal, right at the bottom of the interest rates
before the rates went up. Unfortunately for him, I won't be refinancing
*this* loan!
