Good FICO Credit Score? Tips To Getting The Most Out Of Your Home Mortgage Loan With Good Credit
 
1. Apply with as many mortgage companies online that will provide you with more than one quote per application, as long as they will not pull your credit with your application. If you are about to start applying for a mortgage, you don't want to have your credit pulled until you have narrowed down which mortgage company you want to work with. Every time your credit is pulled, your FICO credit score drops.
2. Talk to your lender about closing costs. If you have excellent credit, the lenders should be falling over themselves to get you a loan. Ask for special treatment. Find out what fees your broker or lender may be able to reduce or remove from your closing costs. Find out if


they will match lower fees offered by another lender.
3. Make sure your lender is offering you excellent customer service. Are they returning your calls quickly? Are they answering all of your questions to your satisfaction? Have they thoroughly researched all of your loan options and offered you more than one possibility? If they haven't, you should probably look somewhere else. With good credit, you have no reason to be a quick, easy sale for a lender.
4. Research interest rates, mortgage information and articles online so that when your lender offers you a loan package, you will know about the fine print ahead of time. Whether you are purchasing for the first time or refinancing, it will help you to understand more about the mortgage process.
