📜 “No Side Hustles Here!”
All mortgage activity must go through your sponsoring entity. No freelancing loans for family, no “just this one deal.” Your sponsor = your legal umbrella. Step outside it, and you’re out of compliance.
📝 If It Isn’t Documented…
Regulators live by the rule: “If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen.” Notes, disclosures, emails, texts—all must be preserved. Documentation protects borrowers, shields you in audits, and proves compliance when complaints arise.
📞 Ring Ring… Answer It Right!
Competency means knowing the rules and products cold—and communicating clearly. Return calls, answer questions promptly, and document conversations. Being responsive builds borrower trust and satisfies regulators.
📂 “Keep It for Four!”
Utah law requires MLOs to keep all loan records for at least 4 years after closing—including declined and withdrawn files. Applications, disclosures, borrower communications, and closing docs all belong in the file. Missing pieces = noncompliance.
🔒 Lock It Down!
Borrower data = gold. Files must be stored securely: locked cabinets for paper and encrypted, password-protected systems for electronic records. Leaving sensitive info out in the open is a compliance no-no.
💻 No Clickbait Allowed!
Ads must be truthful, clear, and complete. No “guaranteed approval” or “lowest rates in Utah” claims without full terms and disclosures. Communication with borrowers must be in plain language—no jargon, no half-truths.
