AGENCY:

SUMMARY: Today’s Federal Register
notice describes how duly licensed real
estate brokers may participate as Listing
or Selling brokers under FHA’s
Management and Marketing III (M&M
III) program. All brokers may participate
as Selling brokers. Brokers that wish to
list HUD’s Real Estate Owned (REO)
properties, however, must be selected as
a Listing broker by HUD’s Asset
Manager (AM) vendors. HUD will pay a
commission of up to six percent to be
split evenly between ‘‘Listing’’ and
‘‘Selling’’ brokers as is usual and
customary in the real estate market.
DATES: Participation by all brokers in
the M&M III program announced in this
notice shall be in effect from the date of
publication of this notice through May
31, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Management and Marketing Program
The Federal Housing Administration
(FHA) administers the single-family
mortgage insurance program. FHA
insures approved lenders against the
risk of loss on properties obtained with
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:30 Nov 23, 2010
Jkt 223001
FHA insured financing. In the event of
a default on an FHA insured loan, the
lender acquires title to the property by
foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure, or other acquisition
method, files a claim for insurance
benefits and conveys the property to
HUD. As a result of acquisitions through
the mortgage insurance program and
other programs, HUD has a need to sell
a sizable inventory of single-family
homes, making HUD the largest single
seller of real estate in the United States.
In fiscal years 2008 and 2009, the
Department sold 46,333 and 49,385
single-family homes, respectively.
Since 1999, HUD has outsourced the
disposition of its REO inventory to
private sector contractors under the
Management and Marketing (M&M)
Program. In June of 2010, HUD awarded
contracts under the third generation of
M&M. Under the previous generations
of M&M contracts, HUD contracted with
a single entity to provide all of the
administrative, program support,
management and marketing services
throughout the United States, the
Caribbean, Guam and the Northern
Marianna Islands. Under the M&M III
program, HUD developed a disposition
structure for its REO inventory that will
streamline its operations, capitalize on
the expertise of its potential vendors/
contractors, and provide flexibility to
meet changing market conditions in the
REO industry.
One change is that, beginning June 1,
2010, HUD has contracted with AM
vendors who are responsible for the
marketing and selling of HUD REO
properties. Multiple AM vendors have
been contracted to market HUD-owned
properties within their selected contract
area within each geographic
Homeownership Center (HOC) area. AM
vendors are required to use the services
of local real estate professionals, whose
primary place of business is within
reasonable proximity to the listed
property, including small and small
disadvantaged businesses, to list
properties for sale and to allow all
brokers, regardless of their participation
in a Multiple Listing Service, an equal
opportunity to show and sell HUDowned properties. Local listing brokers
will be used to ensure wide market
exposure for HUD–REO Properties.
Under the new M&M III program, HUD
will pay a commission of up to six
percent to be split evenly between
Listing and Selling brokers, as is usual
and customary in the real estate market.
This is a change from previous M&M
programs where listing brokers
contracted with the M&M contractors
and the M&M contractors were
responsible for paying the listing

brokers. The commission paid to Listing
and Selling brokers will be made on the
form HUD–1, Settlement Statement.
AM vendors are responsible for
selecting, managing, and overseeing
listing brokers who participate in the
M&M III program. Brokers that wish to
participate as either listing or selling
brokers in the M&M III program must
register for, and receive a Name Address
Identification Number (NAID) before
they can either list or sell HUD
properties. Brokers who already have a
NAID do not need to apply for a new
NAID in order to list HUD REO
properties but must be selected by the
AM vendor as a listing broker. Brokers
must also be properly licensed in the
geographic areas for which they want to
list properties for sale.
B. How To Register for an NAID
Brokers may register for and receive
an NAID by completing and submitting
a form SAMS–1111. The form SAMS–
1111 can be found at https://www.hud.
gov/offices/adm/hudclips/forms/
samsforms.cfm. Completed forms and
supporting documentation must be sent
to the HOC jurisdiction for the
geographic area where the broker will
list a property. HOC addresses are as
follows:
Atlanta HOC: U.S. Dept. of HUD,
Atlanta Homeownership Center, 40
Marietta Street, Atlanta, GA 30303–
2806.
Denver HOC: U.S. Dept. of HUD,
Denver Homeownership Center,
Program Support Division—21st Floor,
1670 Broadway, Denver, CO 80202–
4801.
Philadelphia HOC: U.S. Dept. of HUD,
Philadelphia Homeownership Center,
The Wanamaker Building, 100 Penn

Santa Ana HOC: U.S. Dept. of HUD,
Santa Ana Homeownership Center, 160
N. Stone Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85701.
C. How To Contact an Asset Manager
(AM) Vendor
Listing Brokers who wish to
participate in the M&M III program must
contact an AM vendor responsible for
the geographic areas where they want to
list properties. A list of all AM vendors
and the geographic areas for which they
are responsible can be found at:
