Creditworthiness is an important aspect of the lending process here at CHB, and we do both soft and hard pulls. A soft pull provides us with the preliminary information required to move forward with a deal without “dinging” your clients’ credit scores. It provides us with an estimate of a credit score and the reasoning behind it. Once a soft pull deems the client to be a promising candidate, we can then perform a hard pull, which gives us the information necessary to take a deeper dive into their credit history. A hard pull is only conducted once an applicant is approved and prepared to move on to signing documents. Our credit pulls are done through two sources: Credco by Core Logic and Credit Information System (CIS). CHB is also a “storied lender.” By this, we mean that our financing decisions are based upon the applicant’s story, not just the number on their credit report. Hard pulls provide us with some valuable insight into a candidate’s story and timeline, which is all factored into the final credit decision. When clients receive a credit approval from us, it’s an official “YES!”
