Is it a good idea to use a loan officer as your realtor as well?

That is against HUD now. You can not be a Loan Officer and a Realestate agent anymore at the same time. In order to be a realestate agent you can not have an active Loan Officer License, and Vise Versa.

Ok. I didn't think you could actually do that. It seems it would be a conflict of interest.

I was forwarded an email and the person's signature listed both of them so I was wondering how all that worked.

Wondering, Would that person really work for your best interest and not how much money they could get off the whole deal.

As of now a person can not be Both! That is the reason for the change is because the person's intrest would lie in how much they are making on both deals instead of just one deal. You are right on the conflict of interest. This became Law because of a lot of Mortgage Fraud.

I didn't know it had become law yet in Texas, but I have to admit, I'm glad it did. It sounded like it could be rather unscrupulous back when I was in RE school.

It is not that it is not allowed all together. A real estate agent can no longer originate FHA loans and hold a real estate license. A real estate agent can still originate conventional loans.

I wouldn't say that it is a conflict of interest so much as it leaves far to much room for coruption. Not only that someone who spends a extended amount of time working as a real estate agent is likely not to be the best loan officer simply because of the amount of time they have left to learn the market place for loans.
