A buyer's name, phone number and email, plus the buyer's authorization for a soft credit inquiry. No Social Security number, date of birth or bank statements are needed to begin. ### Does a soft pull affect the buyer's credit score? No. QLFI uses a soft inquiry. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau explains that soft inquiries do not affect credit scores, unlike the hard inquiries lenders use when a consumer applies for credit. Source: CFPB: What is a credit inquiry? (https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-is-a-credit-inquiry-en-1317/) ### Is a QLFI result a mortgage approval? No. QLFI is not a lender and does not issue mortgage approvals. Estimated buying power and program matches are preliminary and remain subject to lender verification and approval. ### Which plan includes the surrounding workflow? Every plan includes the pre-qualification run itself. Subscription plans add the workflow around it, such as the Open House App, CRM and buyer pipeline, conversations inbox and lead routing. Team plans add seats and lead assignment. ### Do buyers pay anything? No. Buyers are never charged by QLFI. The agent or team pays the plan's monthly fee, if any, plus the per-run fee. - How to pre-qualify open house visitors: https://qlfi.ai/blog/pre-qualify-open-house-visitors - Watch the QLFI demo: https://qlfi.ai/demo - Compare plans and pricing: https://qlfi.ai/pricing ## See it on your next lead QLFI is operated by Lending Consultants of America LLC.
