How much does a mortgage loan originator bond cost in Michigan?
The amount of coverage you need for your Michigan mortgage loan originator bond will be based on your loan volume in the previous year. The cost an applicant will pay for the bond depends on your loan volume as well. If you are a first-time licensee doing under $12 million in loan volume a year, you may qualify to purchase this bond instantly for as little as $150!
If you are doing more than $12 million in loan volume a year, your bond will be subject to underwriting consideration and your bond cost will be determined based on your credit history. Applicants with strong financial credentials can expect to pay just 1-5% of the required bond amount!
Applicants with less-than-stellar credit can still qualify for the bond they need when they work with SuretyBonds.com.

Why are mortgage loan originators bonded?
Michigan mortgage loan originator surety bonds ensure that the mortgage loan originator will conform to and comply with each provision of the Michigan Mortgage Loan Originator Licensing Act. For example, the act specifically prohibits mortgage loan originators from engaging in fraud, deceit, or material misrepresentation in regard to mortgage transactions, as well as failing to disclose information to borrowers as required by law.
Any consumer who suffers a financial loss as a result of a Michigan mortgage professional’s unethical and unlawful behavior can make a claim against the mortgage originator’s bond. The state can also make a claim against the bond to recoup losses. The principal would be required to reimburse the surety for any claims paid out.
