What is a Mortgage Loan Origination Agreement?

A mortgage loan origination agreement is a contract between a corporation and a mortgage lender that sets the terms and conditions of their relationship. The agreement states the roles and responsibilties of each party to the contract and gives details about what consequences will occur if a party fails to uphold their obligations under the contract.

The purpose of the mortgage loan origination agreement is to regulate the relationship between corporation and mortgage lender. This helps to ensure that the relationship is mutually beneficial. Since this is required for the contract to be legally enforcable, it's an important document to the mortgage process.

Program Merchants Compliance .
