MCC Broker Agreement
|
|
As a new Broker with MortgageCompany.com (MCC) we’d like to welcome you to what will be a new and lucrative career with us.
|
MCC Broker Licensing
As a MCC Broker Affiliate we require, all licensed brokers to send us their original license issued by their prospective State. MCC is Net Branch which is licensed in most States across the United States. This allows all of our Mortgage Broker Affiliates, whether licensed or not, to broker loans through MCC.
|
|
Review our section on Licensing before contacting our MCC Lenders. If your state requires loan brokers to be licensed, you must have your license before affiliating with our MCC Lenders.

Working with Lenders
Let’s talk about our Lender partners for a moment. Knowing who will loan you money is the first foremost ingredient in securing a loan commitment. Remember that a lender is in the business to lend money. There are lenders that specialize in mortgage money, lenders whose expertise is concentrated upon projects such as high rises, apartment complexes, and shopping centers. There are factors, and lending institutions that work with small business-types loans, ranging from $15,000 and up. And there are, of course tye more sophisticated lending sources that become involved in a combination of lending institutions. Therese lenders depend on you as an MCC Broker, to bring them their borrowers.
|
|
As one of the biggest assets in your new business is the MCC Approved Lenders List. It has taken our company many years and a history of successful MCC fundings to develop a relationship with these lenders.
|
|
As you review our lenders you will quickly note that these lenders are actively seeking loan broker business. Their literature on our site has been specially created for MCC Broker use. They have staff representatives (i.e. Account Executives or AEs) who work exclusively with loan brokers.
|
|
Our staff at MCC has researched lending across the nation that utilizes loan brokers. While we disclose these lenders to you, we cannot possibly have a personal relationship with every lender or every office. What we do know is that these lenders are the “core lenders” for successful loan brokers across the country!

Wholesale vs. Retail Fundings
The first thing you will notice about MCC Lenders is the wholesale rate sheets. The important point to remember is that this wholesale money cost is the rate your lenders charge you. The difference between this rate and the rate you charge your borrowers is your profit. The rate charged your borrowers is the retail rate. The retail rate is the same as quoted to a borrower off-the-street by the lender.
|
|
Quite often the very lenders you use will have both a wholesale division and a retail division. You could charge less than their retail division and thus be better priced to your borrower than if the borrower went to the lender direct.
|
|
Let’s review some terms that you will see on a typical Wholesale Rate Sheet (See the Lender Profile page):
|
- Program – Program indicates the type of loan being sought by your borrower.
- Max. Loan Term – the maximum length of repayment terms under that program.
- Rate – The interest rate the borrower will pay as the date of the rate sheet.
- Fees – Fees are expressed in percent, i.e. .50 equals one-half of one percent or one-half point. These fees are the amount the lender retains on the loan. The difference between the wholesale rate and the retail rate is your profit.
- Negative Fees or Rebates – These are amounts to the MCC Broker even beyond what is charged to the borrower from the lender.
- Par – Par means zero points taken by the lender on the loan. All points are MCC Broker to keep.
- Processing Fees – When the MCC Broker processes the loan, the processing fees are earned by the MCC Broker. These fees are paid to you in addition to the loan fees.
