Best Answer

A Broker is NOT the same as and Underwriter (U/W).

The Broker usually owns the mortgage company. He contracts with several companies to write loans for their companies. Once these loans are written and closed, the broker will receive compensation.

The U/W is the person that reviews the loan documents for accuracy, insuring that all income and asset documentation is correct, and reviewing the appraisal for industry standards.
