Closed on my home today!! And a few Credit Line increases along the way......

So back in May I got serious about my home search.  Found a lender and got my preapproval on May 1st. Fast forward today, keys in hand and I'm a homeowner.  Between the preapproval and closing, I had a few auto increases and soft pull increases along the way....

 

Target:  $500 to $1000

Discover:  $20,0000 to $22,000

Nordstrom Visa:  $13,500 to $18,500

Amex BCP:  $10,000 to $30,000

 

And my scores went up a tad during that time about 5-10 points.  My scores are current below.  I am currently at less than 1% UTI, but  i'm sure that will change in the coming weeks....  Smiley Happy

 

But I do have a question, now that I have keys in hand and all the documents are signed, I was actually looking to ask for CLI on one of my cards that will require a hard pull.  Do you think that it's safe to go ahead and ask?  

 

Thanks again for reading!!!!

First of all....CONGRATS on becoming a homeowner!!!  Smiley Tongue

 

Once your closing is done, and the home is yours...hard pulls are ok! 

During the buying process....obviously a no-no.  But you knew that!  lol

 

Congrats again...I remember the first time I walked into MY home!!  It's a feeling you'll never forget!

Congratulations! Hopefully next week I can close on my house on my 3rd closing date(sellers fault). I am going to try and get my Amex BCE from 12,000 to 30,000.

Thanks all!  Yes very exciting to close...and pretty happy with my CLI's.  Full admission, I did go on a bit of a spree over the weekend. So far one approval for a card (I need new kitchen appliance) and one approval for a CLI.  But I will update once I get decisions on the pending apps (2 more out there).  

 

and @OG_54, good luck on your closing...almost there!! And I am sure you will get your increase on your BCE!!!  Smiley Happy
