Dually Licensed Real Estate Agent / Loan Officer Career Opportunities

Producing licensed real estate agents to have the opportunity to make commissions as a realtor and as a loan officer. The dually licensed realtor / MLO program enables licensed realtors to be paired up with an experienced loan officer from Gustan Cho Associates and work as a team for the homebuyer. The realtor is licensed so that they can access the homebuyer’s file.

The realtor has a partner who will take the homebuyer’s file from the original interview to the closing desk. The real estate agent will learn from the steps of the mortgage process. It is up to the realtor how intensive they want to get involved in the mortgage process.

Some realtors stay focused on getting more homebuyers and count on their loan officer partner to make the loan and finish it through a smooth process which is mostly the case. In order for real estate agents to get compensated on both sides of the transaction, the real estate agent needs to be licensed as a loan officer. It is up to the real estate agent if they want to start and finish the mortgage loan on their own without a loan officer partner.
