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.
Nevada mortgage brokers are answerable to the State of Nevada Department of Business and Lending, Division of Mortgage Lending .
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):
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).
While you won’t pay anywhere near the face amount of the surety bond, surety bond amounts for Nevada mortgage brokers and brokerages are broken down as follows:
If the annual production is less than $20,000,000, the Nevada brokerage bond required is:
$50,000;
If the annual production is greater than $20,000,000, the Nevada brokerage bond required is:
$75,000.
Of note, the rules also state that the Commissioner will determine the surety bond required in individual cases.
AmeriPro Surety Bonds will work to obtain the best available pricing along with the quickest turnaround time for your bond.
Bond premium amounts will be based on two criteria:
One, the amount of the bond required ($50,000 or $75,000);
The second, is the applicant’s credit score.
