What is a ‘Mortgage Originator’

A mortgage originator is an institution or individual that works with a borrower to complete a mortgage transaction.

Mortgage originators are part of the primary mortgage market and must work with underwriters and loan processors from the application date until closing to gather necessary documentation and guide the file through the approval process.
