Discover How the New Virginia Mortgage Law Affects Private Lenders
The new law will not only affect the way in which MERS conducts business, but will also have a profound effect on the way in which all mortgage servicers conduct their business in the state of Virginia. The new law, which takes effect on July 1, 2009, requires that all mortgage servicers must be licensed by the state in order to continue servicing mortgages in Virginia. In addition, the law requires that all servicers must maintain a physical office in the state in order to be licensed. The physical office requirement does not apply to out-of-state servicers who service loans for Virginia borrowers, but who are not required to be licensed in Virginia.
