Freddie Mac
Defined by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
Freddie Mac is a government-sponsored enterprise that, like Fannie Mae, buys conforming loans to keep mortgage credit flowing.
What Freddie Mac means
It purchases loans from lenders and sets conforming guidelines through Loan Product Advisor. Together with Fannie Mae it shapes the conventional market.
Florida example
A Florida lender may sell a conforming loan to Freddie Mac instead of Fannie Mae. Either way the borrower's terms are set, and the sale frees the lender to make more loans.
