Experian Boost is free and affects your Experian credit file and FICO® Score 8 only. Not all lenders use Experian. Results vary, and some people see no change.

STEP 3 · YOUR PLAN

Track it all with SmartCredit credit monitoring

SmartCredit is the credit monitoring every applicant uses. It's a soft pull, so it checks all three bureaus without lowering your score, and it lets you and your professional track your credit and raise it without expensive credit pulls.

Our suggestion:stay on credit monitoring until you've moved into your new home. After that, keep it or cancel — your choice.
