Privacy Policy
If you have applied for a loan with us, or just provided your contact information, we will respect your right to privacy.

Your Right to Know
As a licensed mortgage broker, regulated by federal and state law, our compensation is paid by the lenders in our network. We do not have the ability to set our compensation for your loan higher than our lender-paid compensation, which only changes every 3 months. We may choose to reduce our lender-paid compensation, if there is another competitor that we would like to match.
As a mortgage broker, we will submit your loan application to one or several of our participating lenders. We do not work with all lenders who can make you an offer. We only work with lenders that we feel can make you an appropriate and responsible offer for your home lending needs.
We will be compensated in compliance with federal law, specifically Section 1026.36(d) of Regulation Z (12 C.F.R.§ 1026.36(d)) (if applicable) and pursuant to state law, specifically Sections 156.004(b) and 156.102 of the Residential Mortgage Loan Company Licensing and Registration Act, Chapter 156, Texas Finance Code.
We will be compensated either by the lender, or by you as the borrower, but not by both. Our compensation is the same, regardless of the loan terms (FHA or Conventional, fixed rate or adjustable rate, 15 year or 30 year term, for example).
Our recommendation to use a specific lender is made based on our professional opinion that the lender’s offer is in your best interest. Because we are not paid if you do not finish your loan with us, we only make money if you do your loan. If you are not sure about taking out a mortgage, you should seek the advice of a housing counselor. You can find a list of counselors in Texas on the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development website.
Our compensation is a percent of the loan amount, and is capped at a maximum compensation per loan. We are paid less than the federally permitted maximum compensation for brokers, for a loan of $400,000. We receive the same compensation for a loan amount of $400,000 as we do for larger loans.
Our lenders allow us to modify our lender-paid compensation every 3 months (90 days). We will not modify our compensation on your loan after our lender sends their Loan Estimate, because we are not permitted by law to do so, unless it is for the purpose of reducing our compensation.
We are unable to provide tax advice regarding how a mortgage will impact your tax return or how to file your income tax return. Consult with a CPA and always file an accurate tax return which reflects your true income and allowed deductions and expenses.
Our compensation will be disclosed to you on the Closing Disclosure.
