Difference between a mortgage broker and a loan officerPosted on:3/29/2006
| A loan officer acts as the conduit between buyer and lender. |
A loan officer acts as the conduit between buyer and lender. Most states require the mortgage broker to be licensed, while others do not. States regulate lending practise and licensing, but the rules vary. Most have a license for those who wish to be a "Broker Associate", a "Brokerage Business", and a "Direct Lender".
A mortgage broker is normally registered with the state, and personally liable (punishable by revocation or prison) for fraud for the life of a loan. A loan officer is typically not liable for their actions, and work under the umbrella license of the institution they are at. Typically, they have less experience in the field.
Also, loan officer usually connotes someone who works for a lender, and has involvement in the internal processes of a lender. A broker exclusively uses the money of others to fund their loans.
