A famous quote in the real estate industry states ‘Underneath All is The Land,’ and the constantly changing ownership of this land requires financing. Mortgage Brokers are the experts who assist people in finding and negotiating the financing that fits a particular situation.

Professional Mortgage Brokers are individuals and companies who know the laws and regulations pertaining to real estate financing – individuals you can trust with your confidential information.

Mortgage licensing for mortgage brokers has evolved in order to protect consumers while they obtain mortgages. Professionals holding a mortgage license are real estate financing experts who function like catalysts between the consumer and the companies actually loaning the mortgage money. The Mortgage Broker License indicates that the Mortgage Broker has what it takes to help consumers through the maze of the mortgage origination process.

The uniqueness of the mortgage licensing laws of each state is expressed in the diversity of the MBSD laws, rules, regulations that each state adopts. The states differ on whether a Mortgage Broker even needs a mortgage license, whether the Mortgage Broker can loan on both 1st and 2nd mortgages, or whether a physical office in the state is required. As business over the internet increases, the mortgage licensing laws are becoming more lenient on this physical office requirement. States also differ on how much continuing education they require of the Mortgage Brokers. The various mortgage licensing laws also pertain to the employees of the Mortgage Brokers, and whether they, too, need a mortgage license.
