Mortgage Spreader Agreement

Definition of 'Mortgage Spreader Agreement'

A Spreader Agreement is a document which extends the reach of a mortgage to other properties and sometimes to new lenders or borrowers.

What is a Mortgage Spreader Agreement:

Mortgage companies may use the Mortgage Spreader Agreement to secure more collateral for the loan. This means that, when a borrower fails to make the mortgage payments on a property, under the Mortgage Spreader Agreement, the lender can foreclose on all the properties listed in the agreement, even if the others are up to date on their payments.

The borrower may agree to close a Mortgage Spreader Agreement in order to save money on paying larger mortgage recording fees when securing new mortgages for properties.
