Mortgage Minute: Credit Score Impact
Since credit scores are a starting point to purchasing your dream home, there’s a lot riding on that one little number. Luckily, it is possible to purchase a home with a lower credit score, because buyers who finance through Landsea Mortgage powered by NFM Lending gain access to exclusive, cost-free advantages. So what are your options? Find out right here.
Understanding Credit Scores
Your credit score is an important piece of the home buying puzzle. It reflects your credit worthiness and impacts your loan terms, interest rate, mortgage insurance rate and the mortgage options available to you.
A good credit score ensures that your rates and terms work in your favor. In the long run, this means more money saved per month as well as greater accessibility to credit and the opportunities that come with it.
Discover the basics of credit scores as well as the tools we offer, including Landsea Mortgage’s credit enhancement plan, and get ready to put yourself on the road to home.
In the meantime, what can you do to boost and sustain a healthy credit score? Timely bill payments, maintaining low credit card balances and regularly monitoring your credit report are just a few ways. If that feels like a lot to take in, don’t worry – that’s where we come in.
Road2Home: Your Acceleration to Homeownership
For many people, homeownership is considered a dream – a representation of stability, security and a sense of achievement. Our goal at Landsea Mortgage is to fulfill that dream for every family.
We also understand that purchasing a new home can come with certain obstacles that often feel overwhelming. Securing home loans with less-than-ideal credit, for instance, is one of the most common.

This service is complimentary to our homebuyers and is designed to make sure you have the most favorable mortgage terms.
