What is a bond originator?

And what do bond originators do?

As the name suggests, bond originators originate bonds. Originators may work within law firms, bond companies or independently, and essentially liaise with the bank, bond lending company or other financial institution responsible for issuing the bond, or home loan.

Bond originators negotiate a rate with several banks, fulfilling an outsourcing role. Although some banks may offer pre-approved or regular home bonds directly, a bond originator generally is a good idea, as they have relationships with multiple banks, and can thus negotiate a more competitive bond rate.

In addition, bond originators also prepare the contracts and paperwork required to issue a bond loan, and can provide you with fairly firm estimates in terms of affordability and the loan amounts prospective property buyers could be eligible for. All bond interest rate quotes are, however subject to standard bond affordability calculations, credit as well as regulatory considerations.
