You, the applicant(s), have applied with us for
a residential mortgage loan.

We will submit your loan application to a
participating lender which we may from time to
time contract upon such terms as you may request
or a lender may require. In connection with this
mortgage loan, we are acting as an independent
contractor and not as your agent. We will enter
into separate independent contractor agreements
with various lenders. While we will seek to
assist you in meeting your financial needs, we
do not distribute the products of all lenders or
investors in the market and cannot guarantee the
lowest or best terms available in the market.
¨
In connection with this mortgage loan, we are
acting as an independent contractor and not as
your agent. We will make your loan ourselves. We
may either sell the loan to an investor or
retain it. (You will receive a separate
disclosure as to how we will handle servicing
rights on any such loan.) We have a number of
established independent contractor relationships
with various investors to whom we sell closed
loans. We are not an agent for any such investor
in connection with the sale of a loan. While we
will seek to assist you in meeting your
financial needs, we cannot guarantee the lowest
or best terms available in the market.

How we will be compensated

we offer you – your interest rate, total points,
and fees – will include our compensation. In
some cases we may be paid all or part of our
compensation by you or by the lender or
investor. Alternatively, we may be paid a
portion of our compensation by both you and the
lender. For example, in some cases, if you would
rather pay a lower interest rate, you may pay
higher up-front points and fees. Also, in some
cases, if you would rather pay less up-front,
you may be able to pay a higher rate, in which
case some or all of my compensation will be paid
by the lender. We also may be paid by the lender
based on other goods, services, or facilities
performed or provided by us to the lender.
¨
Our pricing for your loan is based upon current
wholesale options available to us in the
secondary market where closed loans are sold.
