Have You Checked Your Mortgage Broker's License Status?

According to the Department of Real Estate, the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (“SAFE Act”) was signed into law and California subsequently passed conforming legislation that gave real estate licensees until January 1, 2011 to obtain a mortgage loan originator (MLO) license endorsement. Without a MLO license endorsement, a real estate licensee can no longer legally originate or broker residential mortgage loans.

The SAFE Act requires all mortgage loan originators to register with the National Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS) where consumers can check the license status of a loan originator by viewing the NMLS Consumer Access. The consumer then can confirm, free of charge, that any mortgage company or mortgage professional with whom they wish to conduct business is licensed in the state. The database also allows regulators to determine if a MLO has been disciplined or revoked by another jurisdiction which will prevent dishonest originators from closing shop and opening a new business in a different state or location.

  1. The June 23, 2009 figure for Existing Home Prices indicates vaues have fallen to 4.77M which is lower than the anticipated 4.82M. This is good news for mortgage bonds which is in turn good for interest rates but bad for the economy as a whole. ​home loan yantra

  2. A point to note is to ensure that we consult a financial planner that is adequately qualified (say, having the CFPBSI's Certified Financial Planner certification that is recognized worldwide) and experienced (and perhaps licenced to practice as a financial planner by the appropriate authorities to ensure accountability and ethical behavior). real estate in Los Angeles
