    BORROWER(S)

    ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT CONCERNING

    DUAL CAPACITY AS REAL ESTATE SALES AGENT AND MORTGAGE LOAN AGENT

    (At least 12-point bold font)

    Borrower(s) are under no obligation whatsoever to allow their real estate sales agent to initiate or submit the borrower(s) loan package to any mortgage lender, broker, banker or investor. Mortgage brokers and other loan originators cannot offer loans from all funding sources and cannot guarantee the lowest price or best terms available in the market.

    There may be other mortgage loan providers available with similar services and lower rates and/or fees. You are free and encouraged to contact various lenders to determine that you are receiving the best service and rates and lowest fees for those services. A comparative analysis of providers’ services, rates and fees is recommended prior to making a decision on which lender to use.

    · Real estate sales agent _________________, hereinafter referred to as “agent,” is also associated with _____________________ (mortgage broker/banker) and is acting in the dual capacity as both mortgage loan agent and real estate sales agent and shall receive compensation from the real estate sales transaction and separate compensation for arranging the mortgage loan.

    · Real estate company _____________________________ (check one of the following):

    __________ Does have a business relationship with the licensed mortgage broker/banker or exempt company to which your loan is referred. Because of this relationship, this referral may provide the real estate company named above a financial or other benefit.
