Mortgage Broker Licensing.
According to the definition, an individual person who acts as an associate
for either a licensed mortgage broker business or any lender licensed under
Chapter 494, F.S. A licensed mortgage broker is authorized to solicit mortgage
loans on behalf of a borrower, to accept an application, and to negotiate terms
and conditions of a mortgage loan on behalf of a lender.
Section 494.0033, F.S., requires any person applying for a mortgage brokerage
license after July 1, 1992, to have completed twenty-four (24) hours of classroom
education prior to becoming licensed. The curriculum for the education shall
cover primary and subordinated financing transactions, the provisions of Chapter
494, F.S., and Chapter 3D-40, F.A.C., federal statutes which apply to the financing
of real estate, current and accepted mortgage principles and technical information
basic to the mortgage broker profession.
Qualifying hours may be obtained by attendance at a duly permitted and accredited
Mortgage Business School or an accredited college, university, community college,
