When you're in the market for a mortgage, your credit information is obtained through a "hard inquiry" which is then shared with credit bureaus. This information is then sold to creditors or insurers to make unsolicited offers, which can be overwhelming for homebuyers. These unsolicited offers are known as trigger leads and they can lead to an endless amount of unwanted solicitations. In this blog post, we will explain what trigger leads are and how to protect yourself from unsolicited offers.When you're in the market for a mortgage, your credit information is obtained through a "hard inquiry" which is then shared with credit bureaus.

One of the most important lessons we can teach our children is the value of money and the importance of saving it. Saving money not only helps us achieve our goals, but it also teaches us self-discipline, patience, and responsibility. Many adults wish they had learned these skills earlier in life. That's why it's so important to start the process early on and teach our children the value of saving from a young age.
