On Monday morning a rumor was making the rounds that a decent sized loan brokerage firm was considering selling out to a mortgage banking company. At this point we’re still trying to confirm the rumor. But from what we understand the mortgage brokerage firm in question depended on Wells Fargo quite a bit, especially for its jumbo loans.

As we learn those names we’ll pass them onto you.
