Most consumers in the market to buy a new home can agree that purchasing a house can be an exciting yet dauntingly nerve-wracking process, especially when it comes to ensuring the buyers are approved for a mortgage loan. With the housing bubble going on a wild ride over the past decade, reports of new-home sales surging, as reported by the Wall Street Journal , are a welcome relief to those who’ve seen newer modeled houses sit vacant for months or even years. And now that the housing market is healthy once again and back on its proverbial feet, realtors and homebuyers are using smart technology to streamline the home buying process by getting the credit approval part completed in the most efficient ways possible.
First off, both real estate agents and home purchasers alike are using sites like ScoreApprove in order to instantaneously discover who their most credit-worthy homebuyers are via a marriage of the potential buyer’s credit reports and financial information — or, in the case of buyers using the website — to determine if they enjoy a credit score high enough to see how they can potentially qualify for the specific amount of financing they are seeking in a new home.
Whereas in years past, prior to the Information Age launching into full swing, the procedure for determining a homebuyers’ financial state was an arduous process of collecting data from various sources at a snail-mail pace, advanced technology in 2015 helps to make that same information more readily accessible, therefore helping real estate agents and buyers not waste time.
The best part about websites like ScoreApprove are that they recognize the importance of factors that affect a homebuyer’s credit, such as performing “soft” credit inquiries that won’t harm a consumer’s credit rating simply by checking to determine their creditworthiness. As most credit-savvy clients have learned these days, certain actions — such as constantly applying for credit cards and getting denied — can show up as inquiries that don’t bode well for the buyer when subsequent looks into their credit reports are undergone. Another great thing about ScoreApprove is that there is no cost for realtors or homebuyers to use the service, although more advanced options are available, such as when a quarter of ScoreApprove’s users decide to buy credit reports for $19.99 that represent the major three credit reporting agencies’ results.
In the end, the tricks of the real estate trade are becoming more advanced as technology moves closer to the consumer level. Realtors who choose to take advantage of creating videos via drones that give their buyers a literal bird’s eye view of potential new property — along with those real estate agents who use capabilities like Skype or streaming video to show a home to buyers who can’t fly into town or visit the home in person — are the ones who may find their sales rates increasing. Specifically in the case of weeding out the “looky Loos” from those clients that are actually ready and able to purchase a home immediately, sites like ScoreApprove are placing realtors on the cutting edge by saving them time and money by getting away from those who are financially unable to buy a home, and increasing the realtor’s income by leading them to those buyers who qualify.
