What's the Difference Between a New Hampshire Mortgage Broker License and a New Hampshire Loan Officer License?

You may think the terms mortgage broker and loan officer are interchangeable, but they’re not. Both are licensed as MLOs, but their job descriptions are slightly different.

 

A mortgage broker originates mortgage loans and acts as a type of mortgage business. On the other hand, a loan officer is a salesperson who can help you choose the mortgage for your needs. A loan officer may also work for a mortgage broker.

 

The main difference between these two positions is that a loan officer only offers mortgage options from the financial institution they work for. A mortgage broker works with a number of mortgage lenders to shop around and find the best loan.
