What courses do you have to take to become a loan broker?
455268
I assume you are seeking to become a mortgage loan broker?\nIf so, just look under the yellow section in your phone book and call any real estate school.  They generally offer courses also on appraisers, home inspectors, Realtors and mortgage brokers.  Check out their pricing as they all differ and the State you live in will have an examination you will also have to pass.  First you should consider the amount of loan brokers already in your area - there is some steep competition out there for all these fields.

Each state has its own commission that governs realtors.  Usually you can go online to get the application.  You can also submit your transcript showing any college courses you have taken that they might give you credit for.  They will outline what classes you need to take.  You will then have to take a state exam. Most states require that a broker hold your license.

Your local further education college usually does these courses. Living in London you must have plenty of choice?  Good luck.

The requirements vary by state.\nLook for your state's Real Estate Commission online. They can advise you what the requirements are in your state, and list the currently available schools.  These may be community colleges, or privately owned schools. There may be many ways to meet the requirements. Compare carefully.\n\nTexas requires several courses, the last time I checked California required only one class, if I remember correctly.

CHECK OUT BELOW TO BECOME STOCK BROKER :\n\n- A stockbroker invests in the stock market for individuals or corporations. Only members of the stock exchange can conduct transactions, so whenever individuals or corporations want to buy or sell stocks they must go through a brokerage house. Stockbrokers often advise and counsel their clients on appropriate investments. Brokers explain the workings of the stock exchange to their clients and gather information from them about their needs and financial ability, and then determine the best investments for them. The broker then sends the order out to the floor of the securities exchange by computer or by phone. When the transaction has been made, the broker supplies the client with the price. The buyer pays for the stock and the broker transfers the title of the stock to the client and performs clearing and settlement procedures. The beginning stockbroker’s first priority is learning the market. One broker said, “First you have to decide whether you have an interest in the stock market. This will determine how well you’ll do. If you’re just interested in making money you won’t get very far.” Stockbrokers spend their time in a fast-paced office, usually working from nine to five, unless they are just starting out or have to meet with clients. The new broker spends many hours on the phone building up a client base. Sometimes brokers teach financial education classes to expose themselves to potential investors who may then become their clients.\n\n- A college degree is not required, but most brokers have one. Brokers have to be licensed. A license is obtained by passing the General Securities Registered Representative Examination and, in many cases, posting a bond. Individuals may take this test after they have been employed by a brokerage firm for four months. Firms use these four months as an on-the-job training period to prepare their workers for the test. Many states also require the candidate to take the Uniform Securities Agents State Law Examination. These tests are designed to ensure the candidate’s knowledge of all aspects of the stock market. After passing these tests, an individual is considered a trainee. While working full time, he takes classes and trains for up to two years. Employees are expected to take training courses throughout their careers to keep abreast of developments in the field. Those with prior work experience have the greatest opportunities for becoming a stock broker. Few people become brokers straight out of college. Most employers seek applicants who have already succeeded in other fields, such as insurance sales. If you know your interests lie in the market, study economics, finances, computers, and business management in college. Many employers view ambition as the most important quality a candidate can possess.\n\n- The sales aspects and the need to build up a client base are similar for stock brokers and insurance and real estate agents. Financial planners create and execute financial plans for people or businesses. They ascertain their clients’ needs, resources and goals and use this information to draw up a financial plan that suits the individual or the company. Traders are the people you see in the movies yelling on the chaotic floor of the stock exchange. They perform the actual exchanges. \n\n- All the best.\n--------------

In PA you must take two classes.  There are lots of places that offer them.  I took mine through Polley Associates and I know they offer them across the state.\n\nAfter you pass those two classes you must sit for a state exam.  Once you pass the exam you are elegible for your license.  You MUST find a Broker who is willing to let you hang your license with their company however, you can NOT practice on your own as stated by the person above.

This is a great question.  \n\nMortgage brokers all over the country have access to mostly the same programs as everyone else.  Rate is the worst thing you can shop for when getting a mortgage.\n\nFirst, since they all have the same bag of goodies, stay local.  I highly suggest you find someone you can meet in person and shake their hand.  Meet their staff and become familiar with the office.  You will be able to judge how well you can trust this person with your biggest asset.  \n\nLet them know that you know all about the loan process and what to look for.  This will urge them to give you the best deal.  Read up on mortgages before you jump in.  This is a great blog to learn everything about the mortgage process and the people involved:  http://www.explaintome.blogspot.com\n\nGet and study their Good Faith Estimate.  Know that brokers will get paid either by fees or in the rate.  When given the choice, fees don't sound bad after all!  \n\nBottom line:  The scenario you gave is a joke to mortgage brokers.  I've worked with 100's of lenders and I don't know any that would deny that loan unless I'm not getting the whole story.\n\nThe mortgage broker that will give you the best rate is the one that is motivated to.  Let your broker know these three things:\n\n1)  You know how the mortgage process works and how they get paid.  Therefore you won't be taken advantage of.\n2)  You realize that brokers don't work for free and you will not be unreasonable.  You'll work with him to negotiate the best deal for you and him.\n3)  You'll do anything you can to help the broker close your loan as soon as possible.  (here's an idea for bonus points.  show up at the broker's office unannounced with your W2's, most recent paystubs and bank statements, and your tax returns if you're self employed.  Bring in a copy of your drivers license.  Don't just bring the license, make a copy first.  He'll know you've done this before and you really know what you're doing.)\n\nDo these three things and you'll impress the pants off the guy.  If he knows you mean business and you'll work with him to close it quick, he can get by charging you less than average.

First thing tomorrow morning go to a real estate office and asked to speak with a broker.  If they wanted they could take you under their wing and show the ropes.  By preparing you for the state exam they could mold you into a  successful agent once you've completed your classroom hours and pass the exam.   Best of luck...But remember...it's all about ethics..Seriously...nobody wants to sit in arbitration sessions when they should be out there selling the houses they are being commisioned to sell.

Master in Business Administration being a Post-graduate course, a degree is to be obtained before going for MBA.   Since your wish is to do finance, it is better to first obtain a degree in commerce and then go for MBA finance.  this will help in pursuing the studies which is a 2 years course in a reputed Management Institution.  Though correspondence courses are available, full time course is the best.\nMBA at NMIMS, Mumbai\nMBA at Welingkar, Mumbai\nVR

Contact your local real estate company.  They would know everything there is to know about which classes to take where.  Don't panic.  Explain to them your situation and let them help you.  Community colleges may have them depending on the college.  Again, call the real estate company.  I would try to sound interested in the company as though you want to work for them.  There are many companies to call.  If one does not work, call another.  However, I am sure anyone will help you.

In most cases, you don't need special education or background.  However, previous experience in sales, finance or real estate help.  I would suggest you look for an online or attendee type seminar.  If you research it, you'll find several.  In some states you may be required to obtain a mortgage loan officer license.  You can usually contact the Department of Real Estate in your state for that confirmation.  Many mortgage brokers and lenders will hire inexperienced loan officers and offer them a significant amount of training, however be aware that most do NOT offer a salary.  This is a commission based industry and most companies require you to work without compensation until you produce your own loans.  That can mean 2, 3, or 4 months without an income.  It's tough and there's a lot of turn over in the industry as a result of that issue.  If you have some experience in sales, finance or real estate...some lenders, like Countrywide and Wells Fargo as an example may hire you and give you the training AND pay you a small guaranteed salary for a period of time until you are on your feet.\n\nGood luck.!

Before I can answer this, I need to differentiate between three types of professions that are confused with a 'Mortgage Broker'. 1) A Loan Officer is not a Mortgage Broker. Loan Officers may work for Brokers, and a Broker may originate loans as a loan officer. 2) Real Estate Agents are not Mortgage Brokers. Real Estate Agents facilitate the transaction between the buyer and the seller of a property. Mortgage brokers facilitate the transaction between the buyer and the lender. Real Estate Agents are not Mortgage Brokers. Mortgage Brokers may be Real Estate Agents. 3) A Mortgage Lender is not a Mortgage Broker. A Mortgage Lender underwrites a mortgage loan for an investor, then lends the money to the borrower for the purchase/refinance of a property. A Mortgage Broker brings borrowers to the Mortgage Lender.   Whew!\n\nMost states require a Mortgage Broker to have at least three years experience in the mortgage industry. Most states require you to be licensed, and to have a 'brick and mortar' office location in their state. One infamous state that doesn't is Colorado. Most people who become brokers started off as Loan Officers. Loan Officers generally work on commission and are the 'sales people' of the mortgage industry. They are the ones making the cold calls, doing the footwork and selling the loan products offered by the Mortgage Lenders.
