How do you prevent against circumvention?

RAC does not contact our brokers’ clients. We regularly work to ensure that our brokers’ clients are not contacted via our sales and marketing activities (calls, emails, etc.). In the event one of your clients reaches out to RAC directly, we will re-direct them back to you/your firm and notify you immediately.

What do you need from my clients?

We ask for the least amount of documentation as possible and provide you with a custom checklist that details the minimum amount of information you’ll need to provide to us. In addition, we’ll generally require an authorization from the customer that they have permission for us to work with the broker on their loan.

Do you interface with my clients or through me?

We understand that the borrower is your customer and ensure that there is minimal communication between RAC and the end-client. The two touch points that do occur are the authorization and the final loan documents at closing.

How do I get paid in the transaction?

You get paid at closing, with escrow net funding your fee. We calculate fees as part of the closing package and net them out of the final amount released to the borrower. You receive those funds when the transaction completes and escrow closes. There are some exceptions for hold backs, for example: When the rehab has been completed, by a licensed construction company, and the project has been signed off.

Do I need to be a licensed mortgage broker?

Some states do require licenses to broker loans. We will verify your licensing for required states as part of your signup process as a broker.
