The Brookline Group is a real estate broker licensed by the California Department of Real Estate, DRE Broker Lic. 00490982. Therefore, we do sometimes work directly with borrowers, and in those cases we charge origination points. However, most of our loans are sourced by brokers, and we do not charge points when the loan is originated by licensed mortgage broker or lender.
