How much will my Pennsylvania mortgage originator employer bond cost?

Pennsylvania mortgage originator employer bonds do not have a fixed amount. The bond amount is determined by the cash value of mortgage loans secured in the past year. For mortgage loan originators in their initial year, the bond amount will be equal to the projected cash value of loans to be secured in the proceeding year. The price you’ll pay for your bond will vary based on your personal credit report. Applicants with an excellent credit report might qualify to pay the minimum price of just 1% of the bond amount!
