VantageScore mortgage approvals are here. For West Seattle, Burien, and Puget Sound homebuyers who've watched their Credit Karma score for years without it mattering β€” that just changed.

UWM now pulls both FICO and VantageScore 4.0 on every credit report. As a mortgage broker, I get to use whichever score gives you a better outcome. No extra cost. No extra steps. For borrowers sitting just below an LLPA pricing tier (720, 740, 760, 780), borrowers with old medical collections, or thin-file first-time buyers β€” this changes the math.

In this video I break down what VantageScore is, why your Credit Karma number now actually matters for your mortgage, who benefits most, and the honest caveats. (There are a few.)
