Frequently asked questions

No. Revve never performs a hard credit pull. Your readiness pre-check is completely private and has zero impact on your credit score. That's the whole point of checking with us before applying with a lender.

It's a private snapshot of how your finances look through a lender's eyes, covering your credit posture, debt-to-income ratio, savings and reserves, and documentation. Along with your readiness score, you get a prioritized action plan showing exactly what to improve before you apply.

Revve was built with you in mind. Freelancers, entrepreneurs, gig workers, and independent contractors face unique hurdles, like write-offs that lower your on-paper income. We help you understand how lenders will read your tax returns and what documentation to prepare, so you avoid the mistakes that set self-employed buyers back 2–4 years.

No, it comes before that. Think of Revve as the prequal before the prequal. A pre-qualification involves a lender; our readiness report is a private diagnostic you run first, so you walk into any lender conversation already knowing where you stand.

No paperwork is required to get started. You answer a few plain-language questions about your income, debts, and savings, and get your readiness snapshot in minutes.

Neither. We don't sell loans and we don't earn commissions on your mortgage. Our only job is to get you ready, with tools, insights, and guidance on your own timeline.

It depends on your starting point. Some buyers are 90 days of focused effort away from the approval zone; others need 12–24 months to build credit history or restructure debt. Your report gives you a realistic timeline and the specific steps to shorten it.
