Real Estate Agents Mortgage Qualification Guide

Lenders average commission income over two years, so one strong year alone rarely counts. A slow stretch can drag the average down. Clear that, and the rest is straightforward. Here are the steps.

A real estate agent’s income rises and falls with the market and the calendar. Lenders smooth that by averaging two years and deducting write-offs, which can undercount a strong recent year. We document your production carefully or move to a bank-statement program that counts deposits, and we keep your file clean so your closing is as easy as the ones you run for clients.

Real estate agents earn commission income that lenders treat cautiously — we document it the right way so your own purchase goes as smoothly as your clients’. Below is the step-by-step path real estate agents follow to qualify for a Florida mortgage, plus the paperwork we ask for up front.

1

Document a two-year commission history with 1099s and tax returns.

2

If recent income jumped, ask us about a bank-statement program that reads deposits instead.

3

Keep unreimbursed business expenses in mind — they reduce qualifying income.

4

Build reserves so an off month does not stall your approval.
