Why ‘credit repair’ has a new public image
© 2010 Jeff Smith
“Credit repair” is taking on a whole new face in today’s real estate marketplace.
In the past, most of us thought of “credit repair” as a service provided only to the “bad credit” consumer. The pictures in our mind probably vary from the recently fired gentleman who can’t pay his bills to the irresponsible student who blew off his school loans back in college days.
As we watch the guitar-toting groupie on television commercials promoting free credit reports, we have come to realize that this service may actually be “main stream.”
Many of you may have thought if I ever need that service, I will really been in a pinch. Contrary to popular belief, this service is putting Americans in homes. Credit repair has become a tool to assist consumers to get their financial house in order. This service is giving a whole new avenue to the American dream of owning a home.
We see clients every day at PrimeSource Mortgage who come in and have average credit that will sign up for this very affordable service, and in less than 90 days are prequalified and shopping for a new home.
This service also gives the buyer much more confidence in the whole buying experience. When you are pre-qualified (which is a whole other subject that I will share next time), you place yourself in a position of positive negotiations.
The next time you are ready to consider purchasing a home, or you become aware of a family member or friend considering the same, get your credit checked and don’t be afraid to try this incredible service to put yourself back in the game of purchasing a home.
