Planning to buy a home? It’s time to get your credit score in order. ⁣
⁣
Make sure to avoid these common mistakes: ⁣
⁣
❌ Ignoring your credit report. ⁣
Check your credit report to make sure there aren’t any errors or signs of identity theft. ⁣
⁣
❌ Closing accounts. ⁣
Doing so can bring down the average age of your credit, which impacts your score. ⁣
⁣
❌ Paying the minimum due. ⁣
This can drive up your credit utilization rate, which is the amount of available credit you’re using. ⁣
⁣
❌ Making late payments. ⁣
Set up automatic payments to avoid this risk entirely. ⁣
⁣
Wondering if your credit score is high enough to secure a mortgage? Reach out for a referral to a mortgage professional who can help you find out. ⁣
