Mortgage Disrupters Website Disclosure

Legal Disclaimer and Licensing Disclosure page for the Mortgage Disrupters website.

One item must be confirmed before publishing

Your current website displays Mortgage Disrupters NMLS #2496344, but public search results associate that number with Richard Kirby individually. Texas advertising rules require the sponsoring mortgage company’s legal or registered assumed name, company NMLS ID and website address. When an individual LO is advertising, the LO’s name and NMLS ID are also generally required. Texas also has specific rules for using team or brand names such as Mortgage Disrupters. 

Therefore, confirm these two fields with your sponsoring company’s compliance department:

General Mortgage Disclaimer

The information provided on this website is for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes a commitment to lend, an offer to extend credit, a loan approval, a loan qualification decision or a guarantee that any applicant will qualify for a particular mortgage product.

All mortgage loan applications are subject to:

  • Credit approval

  • Income and employment verification

  • Asset verification

  • Property eligibility and valuation

  • Acceptable title and insurance

  • Loan-program requirements

  • Underwriting approval

  • Lender guidelines

  • Applicable federal and state laws

Not all applicants will qualify. Additional restrictions, conditions and limitations may apply.

Submitting a contact form, requesting information, using a mortgage calculator, receiving a payment illustration, discussing a loan scenario or providing preliminary financial information does not create a lender-borrower relationship and does not constitute an approval or commitment to lend.

Mortgage Broker and Lender Relationships

Mortgage Disrupters may operate as a mortgage brokerage and may submit eligible mortgage applications to one or more approved wholesale lenders.

The lender selected for a transaction will make the final credit, underwriting, pricing and loan-approval decisions. Loan products, terms, underwriting standards and availability may vary by lender.

Mortgage Disrupters does not represent that every lender or mortgage product available in the marketplace is available through Mortgage Disrupters.

Rates, Payments and Loan Terms

Interest rates, annual percentage rates, discount points, lender credits, closing costs, loan programs and qualification requirements are subject to change without notice.

Any advertised or illustrated interest rate, APR, payment, down payment, closing cost or loan term is based on specific assumptions that may not apply to every applicant.

An applicant’s actual loan terms may be affected by factors including:

  • Credit history and credit score

  • Loan amount

  • Property type

  • Occupancy

  • Loan-to-value ratio

  • Debt-to-income ratio

  • Income documentation

  • Available assets

  • Lock period

  • Market conditions

  • Loan program

  • Discount points or lender credits

When specific rates or payments are advertised, federal advertising rules require that applicable terms be accurate, actually available and clearly disclosed. Triggering terms may require additional repayment, APR or down-payment disclosures. 

Payment Illustrations

Unless expressly stated otherwise, an estimated mortgage payment may include only principal and interest.

The actual total monthly payment may be higher because of:

  • Property taxes

  • Homeowners insurance

  • Flood insurance

  • Mortgage insurance

  • Homeowners association dues

  • Special assessments

  • Supplemental insurance

  • Escrow requirements

  • Other property-related charges

A lower initial payment associated with a temporary buydown, adjustable-rate mortgage or other reduced-payment structure may increase after the applicable introductory period.

Mortgage Calculators

Mortgage calculators and financial tools appearing on this website are provided for informational and illustrative purposes only.

Calculator results are estimates and should not be considered:

  • A Loan Estimate

  • An official disclosure

  • A loan approval

  • A prequalification

  • A preapproval

  • A commitment to lend

  • Financial, legal, accounting or tax advice

Calculator results may not include every charge associated with a mortgage transaction. Actual figures will be determined through the application, disclosure and underwriting process.

Prequalification and Preapproval

A prequalification or preapproval may be conditional and is not a guarantee that a mortgage loan will close.

Final approval may require satisfactory verification of the applicant’s financial information, acceptable property documentation, appraisal, title, insurance, underwriting approval and satisfaction of all applicable conditions.

A material change in employment, income, assets, credit, debts, interest rates, property condition or loan-program requirements may affect an applicant’s eligibility.

Licensing and Geographic Availability

Mortgage products and services are available only in jurisdictions where the sponsoring mortgage company and applicable mortgage loan originator are properly licensed, registered or otherwise authorized to conduct business.

Mortgage Disrupters primarily serves consumers seeking financing for properties located in Texas.

This website is not an offer to provide mortgage services in any jurisdiction where such an offer or activity would be prohibited.

This website is not authorized by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Mortgage loan applications for properties located in New York will not be accepted through this website.

Consumers may verify licensing information through NMLS Consumer Access. NMLS Consumer Access is the public system for viewing information concerning state-licensed mortgage companies, branches and individuals. 

Equal Housing Opportunity

Mortgage Disrupters and its sponsoring mortgage company conduct mortgage-related business in accordance with applicable federal and state fair-lending and fair-housing laws.

Credit will not be denied or discouraged on a prohibited basis.

Equal Housing Opportunity

Use the official Equal Housing Opportunity logo beside or immediately below this language.

Government Loan Programs

Mortgage Disrupters is not a government agency.

References to FHA, VA, USDA, HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or other governmental or government-sponsored mortgage programs are provided to describe potentially available loan programs.

Mortgage Disrupters is not endorsed or sponsored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Agriculture or any other government agency.

Government loan programs are subject to applicable agency rules, lender overlays, borrower eligibility and property requirements.

Refinancing Disclosure

Refinancing an existing mortgage may result in:

  • A new loan term

  • Additional finance charges

  • Closing costs

  • A higher total amount of interest paid

  • A change in monthly payment

  • The replacement of an existing loan with a new lien

A lower monthly payment does not necessarily mean that the total cost of borrowing will be lower.

Consumers should evaluate the interest rate, APR, closing costs, loan term, total interest expense and anticipated time in the property before deciding whether to refinance.

Cash-out refinancing reduces available home equity and increases the amount secured by the property.

Credit Information

Any discussion of credit scores, credit improvement, debt management or borrower readiness is provided for educational purposes.

Mortgage Disrupters is not a credit-repair organization and does not guarantee that any action will increase a consumer’s credit score or result in mortgage approval.

Credit-score models and scores may differ among consumer websites, credit-monitoring services, creditors, lenders and mortgage underwriting systems.

Down-Payment Assistance and Special Programs

Down-payment assistance, grants, forgivable loans, temporary buydowns and other special programs are subject to availability, funding, income limits, property restrictions, geographic requirements, homebuyer-education requirements and additional program guidelines.

Program availability may change or end without notice. No program benefit is guaranteed until all eligibility requirements have been verified and the applicable provider has approved the transaction.

Testimonials and Reviews

Testimonials, reviews and success stories reflect the experiences of individual clients.

Individual experiences are not necessarily representative of every customer, and past results do not guarantee future mortgage approval, loan terms, savings or results.

Any loan scenario discussed in a testimonial was based on that borrower’s individual circumstances and the lending guidelines available at that time.

Third-Party Information and Links

This website may contain information, calculators, reviews, market data or links provided by third parties.

Mortgage Disrupters does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, security, privacy practices or policies of unaffiliated third-party websites.

A link to a third-party website does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the third party or its products and services.

No Legal, Tax or Financial Advice

The information on this website is not intended to provide legal, accounting, investment, credit-repair or tax advice.

Consumers should consult qualified legal, tax, insurance and financial professionals regarding their individual circumstances.

Electronic Communications and SMS Disclosure

Reply STOP to a text message to opt out or HELP for assistance.

Consumers must be able to revoke consent through reasonable methods, and FCC rules treat texts as communications covered by TCPA requirements. 

Add this statement only when it accurately reflects Mortgage Disrupters’ data practices:

Mobile information, telephone numbers and SMS consent records will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their independent marketing or promotional purposes. Information may be shared with service providers that assist Mortgage Disrupters in delivering requested communications and services, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection requirements.

The website’s form checkbox, privacy policy, SMS terms and actual GHL communication practices must all be consistent.
