Becoming a HUD approved listing broker is no small feat. I've put together a list of the steps you'll want to take if you are interested in becoming HUD certified.
Step One: Read through this website: http://portal.hud.gov/portal/page/portal/HUD/groups/brokers
Step Two: Then browse through here: http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/reo/hwtosell.cfm
Step Three: Submit both of these items: SAMS 1111 Broker application and the SAMS 1111A Selling Broker Certification.
Step Four: After filling in the required applications you will receive a HUD-issued name and address identification number (NAID)
Step Five: Find the companies that have HUD contracts in your state and then sign up with each of the companies you want to provide your services for to list HUD homes. Check this out: http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/reo/mm/mm3map.pdf

We have also been told by all three mangement companies that they do not expect all of their LLB's will remain in the program as many are not capable or willing to fullfill the new requirements. So new Brokers may be added as it goes along. But I will tell people..... be careful of what you ask for!
If im not up 24/7 refreshing! i'll miss one!

What would be the company to apply for WA state?
