Free Credit Report for Lake County First Time Home Buyers…Really Free!

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 NorthBay Alliance

Free Credit Report for Lake County First Time Home Buyers…Really Free!  Many Lake County First Time Home Buyers are unaware of their credit score (aka Fico score). Many more are simply afraid to find out…they know that they had a collection in the past or some other life event that they fear has negatively affected their credit score. Your credit score will affect your ability to obtain a home mortgage and can determine what interest you will be paying on that home mortgage.

There are several ways to obtain your credit score and look at your credit report. You can pay for your report or you can obtain your FREE Credit Report. AnnualCreditReport.com is the only way to obtain your truly FREE Credit Report. Everyone in the U.S. is entitled to a FREE copy of their credit report once per year from the three national credit reporting companies. You can also pay for a copy of your credit report on a one time basis or a subscription basis. If you want your FREE Credit Report you can go to: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp . If you would like more information about your FREE Credit Report you can go to: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/freereports/index.shtml

Your FREE Credit Report will not meet the needs of your lender but knowing your score and what’s contained in your report will prepare you for the home buying process. This information will let you know if there is any inaccurate information contained in your report.  You can positively influence your report and score…but only if you know what is in them.

Your credit score and your credit report are among the many topics that will be covered in our FREE Lake County First Time Homebuyer Workshops.

Hank, well written and informative article.  I hope you get some buyers from this blog.  This gave me an idea to use for my 2012 sales for First Time Home buyers in Honolulu.  Among a multitude of other goals, this will be on the list to market to new home purchasers.
