Worried about your credit score? Getting pre-approved doesn’t have to hurt it. Here’s how to protect your score and still show sellers you’re serious:
Use a lender that offers soft credit pulls – many now do.
Limit your rate shopping to a 14–45 day window. Credit bureaus count multiple pulls within this period as one.
Avoid other large credit applications (like car loans) until after closing.
Pre-approval helps you understand what you can afford and gives your offer more weight, especially in competitive markets.
