Why Every Buyer Should Start With a Credit Consultation

Your mortgage credit score influences the cost of your home loan; therefore, the condition of your credit is very important. After doing a soft pull of your credit, McGinnis Team will advise how you can improve your mortgage credit score. We will even provide specific actions and resources to help you do it.

  • It’s worth noting that your credit score and your mortgage credit score are two different things. However, the one thing they hold in common is significant: payment history. Paying your bills on time is a significant contributor to both types of credit scores. This action (or lack thereof) demonstrates your level of responsibility.
  • We understand things happen. A bill is overlooked, or payments get behind. ...
  • The good news is credit can be repaired. The better news is McGinnis Team will provide a credit repair road map during your credit consultation. For example, if a letter can be sent to a creditor requesting a goodwill adjustment, we will provide the letter template making it easy on you to take that step. ...
  • McGinnis Team will provide the resources you need to repair your credit, so you can get a better loan for you and your family.

Platinum Pre-approval

A McGinnis Team Platinum Pre-Approval is as good as a final approval. We try to avoid surprises at all costs. It’s why we do so much on the front end. It’s a risk for us – we don’t get paid unless a loan is closed – but the extra effort makes home buyers out of home shoppers.

  • McGinnis Team pre-underwrites the potential loan. This means most of the work is already done when the underwriter gets your loan documents, making it extremely rare to have a surprise that derails the approval process and closing.
  • Our objective is to position you as a platinum buyer. McGinnis Team’s Platinum Pre-Approval does just that. ...
