July 1st, 2008 categories: Buying Your House, For Agents, Talking Real Estate
We’ve all been reading the headlines shouting about the mortgage crisis, sub-prime loans and that home buyers can’t get loans to buy their dream home. I can’t say for Nevada or Florida, but in Fairfield County, those headlines are a load of bunk! I’m still selling real estate in Ridgefield and other towns where buyers are financing 95% of their purchase!
How?… you wonder… it’s their credit score. A good credit score is the key that unlocks the door to low down payments. opening that door becomes much easier when you understand exactly what determines your FICO score.
The company that created FICO, Fair Isaac, has a FREE eBook you must read so you can really understand what a 785 means or how opening a Macy’s charge will affect your score. Download and read Understanding Your FICO Score to learn all you need to know about your credit score.

Rob, nice article. I’ve got more insights into having a great score by learning about it through short free videos at www.videocreditscore.com. Might be more fun than reading an online pdf.
Thought it might make a good resource for you and Brad. Feel free to embed any of my videos on your site. Best, Andy
