Real estate business guide
Resources for Lenders and Title Businesses
Mortgage lending, loan origination, servicing, title insurance, closing, appraisal, and real estate brokerage are different regulated or professional functions. A company should identify the exact service it performs, the responsible legal entity, and the applicable authority before creating a public profile or making a claim.

01
Match each service to the responsible authority
Michigan's Department of Insurance and Financial Services regulates mortgage and consumer-finance entities within its authority and provides consumer and industry information. Mortgage loan originator and company records may also be checked through NMLS Consumer Access. Use the exact legal name and license or registration number when available.
Title insurance is an insurance product, while escrow, settlement, legal, appraisal, brokerage, and recording tasks may involve other entities and rules. Do not describe every closing participant as a title company or suggest one credential covers all services. Confirm current authority for the specific transaction role.
02
Keep professional identities and records distinct
Michigan LARA regulates real estate brokers, salespersons, and appraisers through its professional licensing systems. A company record, individual professional license, branch relationship, and appointment with an insurer are different facts. Display the record that supports the service actually advertised.
A directory profile should use the legal business name, public trade name, service area, responsible contact, and current official record without merging unrelated entities. If several professionals work under one brand, preserve each person's identity and license status rather than implying a single company credential applies to everyone.
03
Present terms and marketing claims carefully
Rates, fees, approval, cash-to-close, coverage, turnaround, and eligibility are time-sensitive and transaction-specific. General marketing should not replace the official disclosures, commitment, policy, estimate, or contract that governs a consumer's transaction. Explain what can change and who provides the binding document.
Paid placement, profile verification, lead products, and advertising must remain separate from regulatory status. Payment to Rebuild Detroit cannot create a license, preferred regulatory standing, consumer approval, or guaranteed lead. A business that cannot support a factual claim should not display that claim at any price.
04
Build a verifiable public profile
Before publishing, verify the business identity, service categories, public contact, service area, and applicable official records. Link consumers to the regulator or public lookup when practical. Set a review date because a one-time verification does not establish continuous monitoring or future status.
