Nevada Mortgage Brokers

Nevada mortgage brokers or brokerages may be defined as persons or businesses which act as agents, or brokers, between those who seek a mortgage loan on a property which is secured by a lien.

They may also be referred to as persons who “broker” mortgages, by finding the most favorable terms and rates for a home buyer.

The same definition pertains to those who seek a mortgage loan on a commercial property.

Jurisdiction of Nevada Mortgage Brokers

Nevada mortgage brokers are answerable to the State of Nevada Department of Business and Lending, Division of Mortgage Lending .

Becoming Licensed as a Nevada Mortgage Broker

Applicants for a Nevada mortgage broker license must either be a “natural person”, (i.e. a real person); if they are a business, then they must designate a “natural person” as their official representative.

Additionally, the following are required to become a licensed mortgage broker in Nevada (this list is not necessarily all-encompassing):

• First time applicants will need to pass the qualifying exam. The application license is $2,600;
• Nevada mortgage brokerages must maintain a “brick and mortar” location within Nevada. An exception to this rule are those mortgage brokerages which are wholesale.  These latter are not subject to this requirement;
• Nevada mortgage brokerages must have a “qualified employee” who is in good standing as a mortgage agent who supervisors the activity of the mortgage brokerage;
• Each person who is a “control” person must fill out MU1 ;
• All owners, executive officers, and shareholders who hold 10% or more of the mortgage brokerage company in Nevada, are required to submit to an FBI background check. The background check is conducted via fingerprinting and costs $36.25;
• Re-licensing applicants will need to provide financial statements. New applicants, who will not have a prior mortgage brokerage financial history, will need to provide a Statement of Financial Condition. This statement must also demonstrate the new applicant’s net worth;
• Each mortgage office branch will also need to be licensed;

Surety Bond Requirements for Nevada Mortgage Brokerages

Finally, each mortgage broker or brokerage will need to obtain a surety bond.

Once obtained, AmeriPro Surety Bonds will file the bond electronically on your behalf with the NMLS (Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System).
