Can I, or anyone else, legally be both a real estate sales agent/broker AND a mortgage broker/banker at the same time? If so, is it illegal to be working for the same client/buyer on the same transaction in both a real estate agent manner and also a mortgage broker manner? In effect, I would be getting 2 incomes/ revenues from this one buyer transaction. I'm not sure if that is all kosher with the fed regs. Any input or help would be appreciated. I know this is not official "legal" advice, just looking for a practical summary. Thanks, Ken _________________ For some interesting insight, please check out my Blog @ http://homequitybuilder.mortgagefit.com Or visit my website at www.homequitybuilder.info

You are required to fully disclose both roles. HUD will not allow you to work for a HUD approved FHA lender however. The mortgage brokerage you work for won't be in compliance with HUD guidelines by employing you because HUD requires all loan officers be in their primary profession as mortgage professionals.

They need to apply for and establish that they meet all the requirements of getting a mortgage broker license. In order to become a licensed mortgage broker, a real estate broker needs to fulfill the criteria of a certain period of experience. But a real estate sales person does not have to meet the experience requirement for a mortgage broker. Thanks, Sara

A little too close for comfort.

To receive fair and reasonable compensation, a loan originator must not only take the loan application but also perform an additional five services from a list of 13 origination functions.
