Mortgage Broker Background Checks

Running mortgage broker background checks simply makes smart business sense

Mortgage brokers themselves typically have to undergo criminal background checks in order to get licensed. But other background checks, from MVR checks to social media checks, also make sense for mortgage brokers—and for the other employees in the firm who have access to clients' sensitive personal and financial information.

Below are just some of the background checks that we can customize for you:

Are background checks still necessary in the 21st century?

At Good Egg, we absolutely think so, for several reasons. First, some people still lie on their resumes. Education and employment verifications can help weed out liars and con artists.

Second, given how many people use social media these days, a social media screen can be useful since it will provide insights into potentially toxic (or even illegal) behavior.

Third, over 70 million people in the U.S. have a criminal record. While a criminal record alone shouldn't preclude someone from employment, the context can be helpful when informing hiring decisions. For example, if an applicant recently served time for skimming credit cards, you might think twice before handing over the financial reins to your firm. The key to effective criminal record screening is doing so in a fair, compassionate, and compliant manner (not all screening providers do this).
