Fraud: you would be equally liable for any fraud that your clients or your commit. For this, we have a compliance department that oversees the operation and all resulting transactions to minimize the liability for all parties along with in-house legal counsel. We take fraud very seriously. 

EPOs: any licensed loan officer at Zero Mortgage will be responsible to return commissions earned in a case of an *early loan payoff triggered by an early refinance of the client, a sale of the home, or a general loan payoff initiated by the customer.

*(A loan that is paid off within 180 days after the loan closing is commonly referred to as an EPO)

Yes. Our RESPA attorneys have crossed their T’s and dotted their I’s to give you the peace of mind in moving forward with this opportunity. In fact real estate agents traditionally were permitted to be licensed for both lending and real estate. But recent changes in HUD regulations actually allow you to now participate as both a real estate agent and a loan officer on the same transaction!

We pay out your commissions on the second payroll of the following month. Our payroll system  is bi-weekly. 

You will be paid 50 bps on each loan that you close or refer to another licensed loan officer within the company. Average loan amount is $350,000. At 50 bps payout, you can expect a $1,750 commission payout. An average client is typically equal to 3-4 loans within a 5-7 year time. 

We offer a recoverable draw of the minimum wage per the state you are licensed in, for 15 hours per week.
