Miramichi Mortgage Agents and New Brunswick Brokers

There are a variety of local licenses available to mortgage professionals in the province, ranging from mortgage administers to associates to brokerages. All are administered by the Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick under the Mortgage Brokers Act, which seeks to protect the rights of local borrowers and foster a thriving and sustainable mortgage industry in the province. Along with administering four types of licenses, the FCSC monitors compliance to ensure that brokerages, brokers and associates are always acting in the best interest of the borrower. The only exception is when there's a private investor involved, in which case the same broker can not represent both the borrower and the lender in the same transaction. They also define the disclosure requirements for mortgage professionals and uphold the integrity of the industry.
