Summary of Relationship

50 State Exemption (and D.C.)
All mortgage net branches are exempt from state licensing requirements and legally entitled to do business nationwide upon approval of their affiliate net mortgage branch manager application.

Zero Start-up Costs
There is no mortgage net branch application fee and no up-front reserve requirement.

Fees

  • Monthly insurances (Errors & Omissions, liability, worker’s compensation ) are provided at wholesale rates obtained by the bank.  As an example, a 4 person office would cost approximately  $80-90 per month, a 5-9 person office would cost approximately $130-140 per month, and a 10+ person office would cost approximately $200-225 per month.
  • Third-party payroll services are provided at cost, which by way of example would cost approximately $65 per pay period for 4-person office.
  • There are no monthly accounting fees, no state licensing fees, no continuing education costs, and no monthly minimum fees due to the bank.

Commissions/Revenues

  • 100% is credited (front & back & fees) on loans that are banked.
  • Banked loans include $750 of pass-through (to customer on HUD-1) fees including: flood certs, doc review, underwriting, tax service, etc.)
  • Brokered loans pay 3/8 of a point maximum to the bank, which declines at increased volume levels.  For example, after $1.5 million the bps. fee drops to 32, and after $2.5 million the bps. fee drops to 29.  The brokered loan fee to the bank is capped at $1,250 per loan.
