The smart way to get finance-ready.
Free for you
Your broker is paid by the lender when you settle — not by you. That's why they can verify and activate your Buyer Profile at no cost. Most buyers never pay a cent.
Finance and profile in one step
Get your finance sorted and your Buyer Profile activated together. You walk away pre-approved and already in the match pool — no separate sign-up, no double handling.
Taken more seriously
A verified, finance-ready buyer stands out. Homeowners and agents move faster for buyers who are clearly ready — so you get first access and a stronger position.
Three steps to a free profile.
Create your Buyer Profile
Set your criteria — budget, area, must-haves. It takes about two minutes and gets you into the network.
Choose an affiliated broker
Pick one of the Yelsa-affiliated brokers below, or invite the broker you already work with. Either way, verification is free.
Get activated, free
Your broker verifies you and activates your full profile at no cost. You're finance-ready and matched to homes before they're advertised.
What buyers ask about going through a broker
Do I have to pay the $249.99?
No. Most buyers never pay. The easiest way to get a fully activated Buyer Profile is by connecting with one of our affiliated mortgage brokers, who can verify you for free. Activating directly is only there if you'd rather do it yourself.
Why is it free through a broker?
Our brokers are paid by the lender when you settle a loan, not by you. That's why they can verify and activate your Buyer Profile at no cost to you.
Do I have to use a Yelsa broker?
No. You can invite the broker you already work with to verify you, or choose one of our affiliated brokers. It's a verification step, not a lock-in — you're free to work with whoever you like.
I'm already pre-approved. Do I still need this?
Yes, but it's quick. Even if a bank has already approved you, a broker verifies that status inside Yelsa so homeowners and agents can see you're finance-ready. It doesn't affect your approval and takes very little effort.
Will this affect my credit score?
No. Verification does not impact your credit score.
What does it cost to talk to a broker?
Nothing. Talking to an affiliated mortgage broker is free, with no obligation. They're there to help you get finance-ready and to activate your Buyer Profile at no cost.
