Mortgage brokers sometimes, in everyday practice, even unknowingly, engage in activities that require them to obtain registration under the Securities Act.

  • What brokering activities trip Securities Act registration requirements?
  • What brokering activities are permissible or exempted?
  • Are you, without Securities Act registration, able to:
    • advise an investor/lender how a mortgage fits into their portfolio?
    • advertise an anticipated return to attract investor clients?
    • in effect, make the lending decision for your private lender client?

Our expert, lawyer Veronica Armstrong, will share her vast knowledge in the area with an interactive presentation, containing discussions of real-life scenarios and answers to your questions.

This webinar will make you a more informed and complete broker. It will make you better able to conduct your business.
