Getting a Real Newrez Quote Through the NoTouch Credit Pull
Duane's NoTouch Credit Pull is a soft-pull pre-approval that shows real, program-specific numbers from Newrez's wholesale rate sheet without a hard inquiry on your credit.
Start My NoTouch Pre-ApprovalWorked Example
A borrower with a 700 credit score and 20% down on a $400,000 purchase priced through Newrez's wholesale conventional rate sheet. On a $320,000 loan at an illustrative 6.75% wholesale rate, principal and interest runs approximately $2,075/month — before taxes, insurance, or HOA.
APR and payment figures above are illustrative only, not a rate lock, quote, or offer — actual pricing depends on Newrez's live wholesale rate sheet, credit profile, loan amount, and program at time of application.
Frequently Asked Questions — Newrez
How does Duane's NoTouch Credit process work?
Duane's NoTouch Credit process uses a soft credit inquiry to pull your credit details and show accurate rate options from Newrez without impacting your credit score or triggering hard inquiries.
Why choose an independent broker over a traditional bank?
An independent broker works with multiple wholesale lenders rather than just one bank, giving you access to flexible loan options and wholesale rate sheet pricing.
How long does the pre-approval process take?
With our digital intake and soft-pull process, pre-approval options can often be generated within 24 to 48 hours once all standard documents are submitted.
What documents are required to start my application?
Typically, you will need pay stubs from the last 30 days, W-2s or tax returns from the past two years, recent bank statements, and a copy of your government-issued ID.
Can I get pre-qualified before I start house-hunting?
Yes! Getting pre-qualified or pre-approved first gives you a clear budget and shows sellers that you are a serious buyer when making an offer.
Do you offer low or no-down-payment options for first-time buyers?
Yes. Options include Conventional loans with 3% down, FHA loans with 3.5% down, and 0% down options through VA or USDA programs for qualifying borrowers.
How does the Rate Challenge work if I already have a Loan Estimate?
You can send your existing Loan Estimate, and Duane will run it head-to-head against Newrez and over 30 other wholesale lenders in his network.
What is a DSCR Loan and who is it for?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is designed for real estate investors, qualifying the property based on its rental income rather than personal tax returns.
How fast can a Digital HELOC be approved?
Digital HELOCs utilize automated processing and online verification, which can lead to approvals in as little as a few business days.
What states is Duane Buziak licensed in?
Licensing details can be verified via NMLS Consumer Access (NMLS #1110647) for all current state-specific loan originating permissions.
Are there any upfront hidden fees when working with Duane?
No. There are no upfront hidden fees to check your rate or start a pre-approval using the NoTouch Credit pull.
Can I track rate movement across more than one source?
Yes. As an independent broker, Duane monitors real-time rate sheets across multiple wholesale investors to identify favorable pricing shifts.
What's the best way to compare Loan Estimates from different lenders?
Compare Page 2 (Closing Cost Details) side-by-side, specifically looking at Box A (Origination Charges) and the Interest Rate, rather than estimated escrows.
