How to Be a Listing Agent for HUD Properties
- 1). Contact the HUD Managing and Marketing contractor for your region. On the HUD website, scroll down the list of M&M contractors and find the one responsible for your state. Call them or click over to their website.
- 2). Apply for a NAID Number using the website of your M&M contractor. Create a new account application and provide your licensing state, federal ID or Social Security number and enter a password. Complete the application, review the information for accuracy and submit it.
- 3). Complete the "SAMS Form 1111 Broker Application" and the "SAMS Form 1111A Selling Broker Certification" using the website links provided by your M&M contractor. Print the forms and attach the additional documents requested on the second page of each form. Fill out and print an "IRS W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification" if you do not already have a tax ID number. Send the forms via overnight mail to the office of your M&M contractor.
- 4). Wait for your certification to be issued before attempting to show or write a contract on a HUD home. Your M&M contractor will verify your licensing status in your state. When you are certified and registered with HUD, you may begin showing, advertising and making offers on HUD homes. You will receive a commission of up to 5% of the contracted sales price for any HUD home you sell.
