The Upfront Mortgage Broker Commitment

2.   The UFMB will use his/her best efforts to determine the loan type, features, and lender services that best meet the borrower's needs, and to locate the best wholesale price for that loan from the lenders with which the UFMB is approved.

3.  The UFMB will establish a fee for his/her services upfront and in writing, before the loan application is submitted, based on information requested by the UFMB and provided by the borrower. The fee may be a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the loan, or a combination of these. The fee will cover all services provided by the UFMB, including any and all processing fees.

4.   The UFMB will credit the borrower any and all yield spread premium received from the lender. This credit will reduce the settlement charges and may exceed the UFMB’s fee for services.

5.  When directed by a borrower who has met lender lock requirements, the UFMB will lock the terms of the loan - interest rate, points or yield spread premium/credit and other major features.  After the terms of the loan have been locked, if requested by the borrower, the UFMB will provide a copy of the lender’s written confirmation of the rate lock. The rate lock confirmation will show any and all yield spread premium or discount points associated with the interest rate.
