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. To learn more about your credit score and to order a copy
of your FICO score from any one or all three credit bureaus – Equifax,
Trans-union and Experian, click on link below.
