MORTGAGE BROKER FEE DISCLOSURE

You have applied to us – a mortgage broker – for a residential mortgage loan. We will submit your application for a residential mortgage loan to a participating lender with which it from time to time contracts upon such terms and conditions as you may request or a lender may require. The lenders have asked that this form be furnished to you to clarify the role of mortgage brokers. This form supplements other disclosures or agreements required by law that you should receive from us concerning your application.

SECTION 1. NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP. In connection with this mortgage loan:

· We have separate independent contractor agreements with various lenders.
· While we seek to assist you in meeting your financial needs, we do not distribute the products of all lenders or investors in the market and cannot guarantee the lowest price or best terms available in the market.

SECTION 2. THE BROKER’S COMPENSATION. The lenders whose loan products are distributed by us generally provide their loan products to us at wholesale rate.

· The retail price we offer you – your interest rate, total points and fees – will include our compensation.
· In some cases, we may be paid all of our compensation by either you or the lender.
· Alternatively, we may be paid a portion of our compensation by both you and the lender. For example, in some cases, if you would rather pay a lower interest rate, you may pay higher up-front points and fees.
· Also, in some cases, if you would rather pay less up-front, you may wish to have some or all of our fees paid directly by the lender, which will result in a higher interest rate and higher monthly payments than you would otherwise be required to pay.
· We also may be paid by the lender based on (i) the value of the Mortgage Loan or related servicing rights in the market place or (ii) other services, goods or facilities performed or provided by us to the lender.

You may work with us to select the method in which we receive our compensation depending on your financial needs, subject to the lender’s loan program requirements and credit underwriting guidelines.

The amount of fees and charges that you pay in connection with your loan will be estimated on your Good Faith Estimate. The final amounts will be disclosed on your HUD-1 or HUD-1A statement.
