Pre-Approval Reports

(Soft Pull)

Deliver meaningful pre-approval letters backed by full credit analysis without impacting borrower credit scores.

Issue Solid Pre-Approvals With Comprehensive Soft-Pull Data

In today’s competitive housing market, buyers need strong pre-approval letters to stand out. SettlementOne’s soft-pull pre-approval reports provide the comprehensive credit data you need to issue confident pre-approvals while preserving your borrowers’ credit scores for when they find their perfect home.

Unlike basic pre-qualification, our pre-approval reports deliver the same depth of credit information as a traditional hard pull. This allows you to perform thorough credit analysis, identify potential issues early, and issue pre-approval letters that carry real weight with sellers and agents – all while demonstrating your commitment to protecting borrower interests.

Key Features

Full Credit Analysis: Complete tradeline data, payment history, and credit utilization
Multiple Score Models: Access FICO and VantageScore models for comprehensive risk assessment
Automated Findings: Instant flags for potential issues requiring attention
Audit Trail: Complete documentation for compliance requirements

How It Works

Our pre-approval process maintains the speed borrowers expect with the thoroughness lenders require. Upon receiving borrower authorization, our system pulls comprehensive credit data from all three bureaus without triggering a hard inquiry. You receive detailed credit reports with the same information as traditional pulls, enabling confident underwriting decisions. When borrowers are ready to make an offer, convert seamlessly to a hard-pull report.
