As mortgage brokers gain more leverage in the market, concerns about borrower poaching and retention are making channel conflict with lenders more prevalent.

Employment in the nonbank mortgage lender and brokerage sector is falling in the face of rising interest rates and the limited supply of homes for sale.

Today's mortgage broker is tech savvy, sophisticated and better equipped to thrive in a wholesale channel that's far more competitive than in the past.

Mortgage lenders are embracing the broker-wholesale channel as a low-cost way to extend their reach and maintain volume in the face of rising home prices and interest rates that are putting a damper on origination activity.

Tight margins, regulatory clarity and a renewed appetite to expand have made mortgage brokers and the wholesale channel attractive again, at least to the small and medium mortgage lenders.
