Florida Association of Mortgage Professionals

What Florida Association of Mortgage Professionals does

The Florida Association of Mortgage Professionals (FAMP) is a non-profit trade association founded in 1960 and headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida. It represents more than 55,000 mortgage loan originators operating across the state, organized through seven regional chapters. The association's stated mission is to advocate for the Florida mortgage industry, provide continuing education, and deliver networking and professional development programming to its members.

FAMP's core products and services include tiered membership, a catalog of continuing education (CE) courses (including a newly launched Private CE offering), an Annual Convention, Lobby Days, a Political Action Committee, the RISE initiative for women in mortgage lending, the Mary Spearman Scholarship, and affinity events such as a Pickleball tournament. Technology infrastructure is conventional: FAMP runs its member portal on the GrowthZone association management platform and uses Zoom for webinar-based CE delivery. The association retains registered lobbyist Sean Stafford to engage Florida lawmakers and partners with federal entities including Fannie Mae and FHFA on regulatory matters such as condo mortgage reform.

FAMP's revenue mechanics derive primarily from individual membership dues, CE course fees, Annual Convention registration and sponsor/exhibitor fees, and PAC contributions. Sponsorship is anchored by a small group of repeat lenders (Angel Oak, Quontic, UWM). Day-to-day operations are run by a lean staff of 1–10 employees with extensive reliance on volunteer leadership from across the industry.

Broad incumbents

• National Association of Realtors: The largest U.S. trade association for real estate professionals. NAR intersects with FAMP's mortgage origination membership and competes for the same Florida member attention and advocacy dollars at a national scale.
• Mortgage Bankers Association: The largest national association representing the real estate finance industry, including mortgage bankers, lenders, and servicers. MBA is a broader incumbent that overlaps with FAMP's advocacy and education mission but operates at national scale.

• Texas Mortgage Bankers Association: State-level trade association serving Texas mortgage professionals with advocacy, education, and events — directly comparable in scope and structure to FAMP.
• New York Mortgage Bankers Association: State-level trade association serving New York mortgage professionals with CE, advocacy, and networking — another comparable regional model to FAMP.
