FAQ

Quick honest answers.

Does checking my rate affect my credit score?

No — getting pre-approved with TrustBridge uses a soft credit pull, which never affects your credit score. A hard pull only happens once you decide to move forward with an application.

How fast can I close?

Most conventional purchases close in 14–21 days. Programs like Fix & Flip can close in as few as 7 days once your file is complete.

What's the down payment assistance eligibility?

Reach out to a loan officer for the most current rates and terms on down payment assistance eligibility — pricing changes daily based on market conditions.
