Credit Scores defined and how you can find out yours for free!

The 5 key elements that calculate your score and how you can control and make them work for you!

Go to this website to get your free and accurate credit score. Examine the details of accounts, make sure they all make sense and question ones that you cannot identify.

There are 5 key elements that calculate into your score:

35% Payment History
30% Debt Utilization

The higher your credit, they better chance you have to qualify for a low interest loan. Make it work for you! If your credit is not where you want it to be, time will repair your credit and debt responsibility. It can be done! If you are looking for referral of mortgage brokers, send me a message. They can dive into your credit deeper, give you advice plus pre-approve you for a loan if you are ready for a home purchase.
