The Mortgage License Blog Begins!

Hi, my name is Eric Smith, and I've been in the mortgage license industry for about 5 years now. During that time, I've heard countless stories of frustration from brokers, lenders, and loan officers about the pains they go through in trying to get licensed in states across the country. The trouble is that the mortgage license requirements differ greatly from state to state and there are very few central locations that offer helpful information to guide you through the process.

Over my time in the industry, I've assisted upwards of 200 companies in getting licensed in anywhere from 1 to all 50 states. These companies have varied in size and experience, but it has been exciting to watch them grow and share in their excitement as their business expands. So, whether you are an owner of a mortgage company who wants to grow, a loan officer who would like to start her own company, or just an entrepreneur looking for more information, please use this blog as a resource.

I plan to discuss and explain specific state mortgage license applications and the requirements of each. My hope is that this can turn into a conversation as more of you begin to read and post your questions. I'll do all I can to provide quick and thorough answers to the best of my ability. I'll also be honest with you when I don't know the answer and try to guide you to the resources that might.

I also need to let you know that I currently own and operate a mortgage license company which, for a fee, assists people and companies in acquiring the mortgage licenses they wish to obtain. If you'd like to know more information about us, you can check out at www.amlicensing.com.

Lastly, I must be clear that this blog should in no way be viewed as legal advice, but rather as valuable information that assists you in pursuing your mortgage licenses.

With that said, we might as well start off with information about a very popular state that almost every caller we get asks about; FLORIDA.
