Both California license pathways
DRE and DFPI MLOs can explore the platform.
Straight Deal Mortgage supports qualified California MLOs through both licensing paths. Under DRE, an individual must hold a current California real-estate license with an approved MLO endorsement managed through NMLS. Under DFPI, MLOs operating through the California Finance Law or California Residential Mortgage Lending Act framework maintain the applicable MLO license and sponsorship through NMLS.
An inactive or unsponsored status may not authorize origination. Each transition should be coordinated so the correct DRE endorsement or DFPI license status and company sponsorship are effective before licensed activity begins.

California recruiting questions
Clarify the transition before taking action.
Is Straight Deal Mortgage recruiting loan officers in California?
Yes. Straight Deal Mortgage is reviewing confidential inquiries from qualified California mortgage loan officers. Employment, sponsorship and licensing arrangements depend on the individual and company requirements.
Does Straight Deal support both California MLO licensing pathways?
Yes. Straight Deal Mortgage supports qualified MLOs through both California pathways: a DRE real-estate license with an approved MLO endorsement and the applicable DFPI MLO license framework. Individual eligibility, sponsorship and transition requirements must be confirmed.
Can I speak confidentially before changing companies?
Yes. The inquiry is intended as a private initial conversation. Submitting it does not change employment, sponsorship or licensing status.
What happens to active loans during a company transition?
Files and permitted activity are governed by the current sponsor, applicable law and transition arrangements. A producer should coordinate carefully and must not perform licensed activity without the required authority.
