Mortgage CRM for Manitoba brokers: Salespersons, authorized officials, and a registration model of its own
A mortgage CRM for Manitoba has to use Manitoba's own vocabulary: the Manitoba Securities Commission registers mortgage brokers, authorized officials and mortgage salespersons under The Mortgage Brokers Act, rather than the associate-and-broker ladder used elsewhere. Manitoba is a smaller, relationship-driven market where repeat business and referrals carry more weight than lead volume — which makes renewal tracking disproportionately valuable.

What should a mortgage CRM in Manitoba keep track of?
Who in the firm is registered as a salesperson and who as an authorized official, whether the firm is a full or restricted mortgage broker, and a book of past clients worked for renewals and referrals. Mortgage360 records registration type on each person and keeps maturity dates on every funded deal.
- Regulator: the Manitoba Securities Commission (MSC), part of the Manitoba Financial Services Agency.
- Governing law: The Mortgage Brokers Act.
- Mortgage broker / restricted mortgage broker.
- Authorized official.
- Mortgage salesperson.
- Manitoba land transfer tax.
Who licenses mortgage professionals in Manitoba
The Mortgage Brokers Act regulates mortgage brokers and mortgage salespersons to protect both borrowers and mortgage investors, and the MSC administers it. The firm and the individuals register separately.
- Mortgage broker / restricted mortgage broker — The two firm registrations. A full registration carries trust-account and surety-bond requirements that the restricted one does not.
- Authorized official — The senior individual registration, requiring at least 24 months as a mortgage salesperson plus the broker's course.
- Mortgage salesperson — The entry individual registration, with education delivered through Mortgage Professionals Canada.
The Manitoba compliance calendar
The MSC publishes renewal and education requirements through its real estate division.
- Confirm the current renewal cycle and any continuing-education course with the MSC before relying on a date.
- The public registrant search shows each person's registration status.
- We could not find a record-retention period for Manitoba mortgage brokers on a primary source — confirm with the MSC. FINTRAC's five-year minimum applies regardless.
Manitoba land transfer tax
Manitoba charges a provincial land transfer tax in graduated brackets on the fair market value of the property, paid by the buyer along with a registration fee when the transfer of title is registered.
- The Manitoba transfer-tax calculator runs the figure for a specific price.
- Closing costs: Legal, inspection and adjustments alongside the transfer tax.
- The Manitoba rates board is a preview with sample rates, not live lender quotes.
What the CRM keeps on the record for Manitoba
None of this needs a separate compliance spreadsheet. The dates and statuses above sit on the agent, office and deal records they belong to, and the funded book carries its maturity dates forward for renewals.
- Registration type — salesperson or authorized official — on each person's record.
- Notes on each file recording who reviewed it.
- Maturity dates carried from funding, for a market that runs on repeat clients.
- Referral prompts after funding, when goodwill is highest.
