Frequently asked questions about the Mortgage Broker Surety Bonds:

How much does a Mortgage Broker Bond cost?

Annual premium amounts are determined based on owner personal credit. Owners with stellar credit may be eligible for standard market rates, which range from 1% to 3% of the bond amount. If the owner has a low credit score, or past due items on their credit report, annual premium typically ranges between 5% to 15% of the bond amount. For most states, our high risk rate does not exceed 7.5%.

How do I get a Mortgage Broker Bond?

The first step is to apply for a free quote. Once you’ve been approved, your agent will provide you with the bond premium due, along with an agreement with the surety. Once you’ve paid for your bond, and provided a signed copy of the indemnity agreement, your Mortgage Broker Bond will be mailed out to you.

Yes. While many sureties only offer quotes to customers with stellar credit, we have a variety of mortgage agency bond programs that allows us to approve over 99% of applicants through our online application.
