Will a credit pull lower my credit score?
Having your credit pulled for a mortgage should not have a substantial impact on your credit score. Most lenders treat all mortgage inquiries as a single inquiry as long as they are done within a specific time frame (usually 45 days since your first check). This allows you to shop around and get your credit pulled from multiple lenders without hurting your score. Without looking into your credit, a lender cannot approve you for a loan or give you an accurate rate quote. The rate you are given is determined by a myriad of factors, including credit.
We encourage all homebuyers to shop around for a mortgage and get pre–approved with different lenders. Morty’s platform can make this easier, providing you access to loans from multiple lenders with a single credit pull.
