If you work as a mortgage broker for an independent company you can make .5% of the loan amount. For a short time this was as high as 1.75% but it has fallen since 2006.
If you work for the big institutional banks, you will begin in their Phone Centers. You will get a salary instead of a commission. That is because the phone calls are all generated by the bank; not by your personal efforts. Most of those callers want to refinance. You get $30,000 a year.
You can’t get recognized unless you become a superstar mortgage originator. Then everyone will bid for your services..
