It’s possible that a Mortgage Goat application has a minor effect on your credit score if you’ve had your credit checked multiple times in the past few months. However, getting your credit checked with us will (at most) lower your score by 3 to 5 points, and checking your credit is necessary for getting a mortgage or refinance.
Before you work with us, it’s a good idea to have the following details handy:
We have a range of loan options available for any type of credit score. If you have a low credit rating, it’s okay. We can present options that are adapted to your financial situation. It’s another reason why people like working with us instead of a less personalized large banking institution.
If you don’t have immediate funds available, that’s okay. We can roll any closing costs into your loan, so you don’t pay any cash out of pocket.
You can get a loan to take cash out, shorten your loan term, lower your payment, or even a combination of these! We are realistic and recommend the strongest route forward based on your numbers and financial situation.
Yes! It’s absolutely free to work with us, see your options, and get approved. There are no hidden fees and we are transparent with our pricing. If you decide to move forward with your loan, we clearly lay out our fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
