Exam Tip
GRMA company questions test broker versus lender scope, bank and credit union exemptions, NMLS filing, branch approval, application fees, MCR reporting, NMLS Consumer Access, unique identifiers, and state-specific NMLS notices.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- -Using generic federal mortgage facts when Georgia DBF, GRMA, Georgia Fair Lending Act, or Rule 80-11 rules are being tested
- -Confusing company broker/lender licensing with individual MLO sponsorship and employment limits
- -Treating Georgia CE, temporary authority disclosure, books and records, branch approval, or high-cost protections as optional
