DIRECT ANSWER

HoopCasters Buyer Checkpoint asks questions about your current homebuying situation and uses your answers to produce an immediate readiness result. It considers several parts of your situation together instead of relying on a single number.

After seeing the result, you can choose whether you want a path to request a connection with a real estate or mortgage professional. The assessment is informational—not a mortgage application, preapproval, approval, underwriting decision, or guarantee.

How does the assessment work?

Information first, then the consumer decides what to do next.

  • Step 1 — Answer questions about your situation.
  • Step 2 — Buyer Checkpoint looks at the answers together.
  • Step 3 — Receive an immediate readiness result.
  • Step 4 — Decide whether a professional conversation would be useful.

What information goes into the readiness assessment?

The established assessment inputs are:

  • Goal
  • Timeline
  • Target Home Price
  • Down Payment
  • Credit
  • Income Stability
  • Confidence
  • Lender Status

What Buyer Checkpoint result will I receive?

Results are informational, not lending or underwriting decisions.

  • STRONG POSITION — several encouraging signs related to preparation, stability and momentum.
  • GETTING CLOSE — some pieces may be taking shape while other areas deserve attention.
  • NEEDS FLEXIBILITY — greater flexibility, preparation or a different timeline may be useful.

Is Buyer Checkpoint a mortgage preapproval?

No. It does not verify income, assets, debt, employment, credit reports, property information or other lender documentation, and it does not approve or deny a mortgage.

Why doesn’t Buyer Checkpoint use one number?

Readiness is broader than credit. Timeline, available funds, income stability, financing progress and other factors can all matter.

What happens after I see my result?

You see your readiness information first and are not required to request a conversation. If you want help, HoopCasters can provide a path to request contact through the applicable experience.

What if a professional sent me the assessment?

A professional-branded experience can display information about the participating professional so the consumer knows who provided the tool. Not every experience is professional-branded.
