somewhat simular, a loan arranger is the person some folks begin, known as an originator; places you with a mortgage broker that has $ $ $ at his fingertips.
A loan officer is an employee for a mortgage company or lender and is not required to be licensed. A mortgage broker is a licensed professional and works as a contractor (received a1099 not a W-2) for its earnings.
They’re generally the same thing… loan officer, loan originator, mortgage broker, etc. Though, a true broker will own the company and/or be licensed by the state.
Hi there- Ive been in the mortgage lending business for 6 years and have wondered about this question also. There really isn’t a difference in the two, it depends on the company that the person works for. Brokers work for Brokerage firms and originators work for big lending firms. Good luck!
They are basically one and the same. Or should I say we are. I am a broker and have also been refered to as a consultant, or originator. They all do the same thing just a title.

A mortgage broker finds you a loan with a mortgage company. The mortgage company is the loan originator.
