Your credit score is based on all the facts in your credit history. It’s listed as a 3-digit number that tells lenders whether you have an excellent, good, fair, or poor credit rating.

PRE-QUALIFYING

Find out how much you qualify to borrow by getting pre-qualified. When sellers know you're pre-qualified, they look at you as a serious buyer. It’s a great negotiating tool, especially if you find yourself bidding against other buyers.
