Thinking about buying a home this year or next? One of the first steps you can take today is checking—and improving—your credit score.

 

 

Why Your Credit Score Matters:

 

 

  • It impacts the interest rate you qualify for.

  • It can determine the loan programs you’re eligible for (including down payment assistance).

  • A stronger score means lower monthly payments.

 

 

 

Quick Tips to Boost Your Score:

 

 

  1. Pay bills on time – even one missed payment can hurt.

  2. Keep balances low – aim to use less than 30% of your credit limit.

  3. Avoid opening new accounts too close to applying for a mortgage.

  4. Don’t close old credit cards – longer history = better score.

  5. Dispute errors on your credit report.

 

 

Even if your credit isn’t perfect, I can help create a strategy to get you mortgage-ready.
