Faces of RentReporters: Stephen Turner

Stephen Turner, Financial Advisor

Why I Joined RentReporters:

My wife Chrystal and I wanted to buy our dream home, so we knew we needed to improve our credit scores to get the best deal and be approved for a home mortgage.

We heard about RentReporters through a realtor we were using, and our mortgage company also referred RentReporters to us. We decided to sign up, and when we checked my score, it went from 605 to 655 within one weekend! We knew immediately that having our rent payments reported by RentReporters is what caused my score to go up.

RentReporters helped us realize our dreams beyond just improving my credit score. The mortgage company we were using needed our rental payment history, and typically, they would have simply gone through our landlord – but we had to take civil action against our landlord in order to get our security deposit back. So, RentReporters stepped in and provided our mortgage company with a certificate showing positive rental payment history of 2.5 years – that was monumental for us!

After Joining RentReporters:

With my new and improved score, my family and I were able to get approved for a mortgage, and recently, we bought our forever home!

My Experience with RentReporters:

The RentReporters team was great. They helped us every step in our journey, from the sign up process to helping us validate our on time rental payments so that we could be approved for our home mortgage. As a financial advisor, I know how the world of credit and mortgage companies work, and I can truly say that there are few – if any – companies out there like RentReporters. They are there to help individuals like me so that we can improve our credit score and realize our goals and dreams.  I continue to recommend them to my family, friends and colleagues, and if your experience with them is anything like mine, you will be happy, as RentReporters does what they say they will do – help you build and improve your credit score.
