What's Your Credit Score?

Most lenders rely on a credit score – called a "FICO score" – to determine a new homebuyer's credit worthiness when applying for a pre-approval or mortgage. Your FICO score or credit score may determine your ability to be pre-approved or determine the interest rate and loan program you are likely to be offered from a lender. Taking this simple step prior to considering a new home purchase will save you time, stress and possibly thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.
