what is a mortgage agreement?
if you're in the process of buying property there's a good chance you'll need a mortgage agreement. buying a home is often a person's biggest investment, and some collateral may need to be involved. as a borrower, you can't borrow an enormous sum of money without some incentive to pay back the loan - a mortgage agreement serves to guarantee the loan. conversely, as a lender you're likely not going to want to lend a large sum of if you feel you won't get it back. a mortgage agreement puts a lien on the property and provides security to lenders.
note: depending on your circumstances you may need a deed of trust instead.
when to use a mortgage agreement:
- you're borrowing money to purchase property.
- you're lending someone money to purchase property.
- you manage a company that makes loans.

which states allow mortgage agreements?
after a home buyer secures a loan, the lender will typically protect the loan with either a mortgage agreement or a deed of trust. while these documents both place a lien on the house, which allows the lender to sell the property if the borrower can't meet the terms, not all states allow you to use a mortgage agreement.
