Hey there, home buyers, it's Jeremy, that guy that bought his first home with no information, nothing done right, but you are not going to be that person. You are going to be better because you're listening to this podcast. You're downloading maybe some of the checklists and different resources we've created. You're hiring the right realtors. You're finding the right lenders. You're making sure that your down payment is starting to be saved for. On this episode, we're really going to dig into the other thing you need to do before you start the process of buying a home, and that is addressing your credit score. Your credit score is one of the key players in this process. Really the first thing you need to get right before doing anything else. It's like building a house. When you build a house, you set the foundation. The thing that everything else sits on, and if you don't have the foundation right, then the rest of the house obviously is not going to be doing good things when it's sitting on top of a bad foundation.
The foundation of the home buying process is your credit score. The financial score that is based on your financial behavior over the course of like, I don't know forever basically, and we'll dig into it. So, this episode deals with how to find your credit score. I want you to know that in the show notes page, and you can find the show notes page by going to NewHomeBuyersGuide.net-episode6. In the show notes page, we have an infographic that we refer to throughout this conversation, and that infographic is really going to help you find your credit score.
Just to give you a little forward thought, our next episode is going to be how to fix your credit score. So, after you found your credit score, let's say it's not very good, or you have a problem. Then there are ways that you can fix your credit score, and the next episode is going to go into that. So this episode is all about how to find your credit score. The next episode is all about how to fix your credit score. When we're done, hopefully you'll know that you have an awesome credit score that's going to make the whole rest of the process that much more smooth, and if you don't, it's totally okay. You'll know how to address it and how to fix it, so that can make the process even better.
All right. Let's do it.
