Employee Restrictions and Obligations

Employee Restrictions and Obligations

There are obligations that go along with being a retail originator for Security National Mortgage Company.

First, as a HUD supervised lender, we as employees are not allowed to work within the industry in any other capacity. This means that you may not own or work for another mortgage company,

Second, all loans that you originate must be submitted through PC Lender / IHM to the centralized processing facility in the San Dimas branch for processing, placement and funding.

If this is not your understanding or if you have any questions, please contact us immediately so that we may resolve any potential conflicts.
