What is a note broker?

Note brokers are professionals who act as intermediaries in the buying and selling of promissory notes, such as mortgage notes, business notes, or structured settlements. They connect note holders—people who are owed payments—with investors interested in purchasing these payment streams, typically at a discount. Note brokers help facilitate these transactions by evaluating the notes, negotiating terms, and ensuring all legal paperwork is completed. Their role is crucial in providing liquidity for note holders and investment opportunities for buyers.
