Alabama Real Estate Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which organization does NOT buy, sell, or securitize mortgages but instead guarantees mortgage-backed securities?

Fannie Mae

Freddie Mac

Ginnie Mae

Ginnie Mae differs from the other options in that it is not a lending or securitizing entity. Instead, it is a government-owned corporation that guarantees mortgage-backed securities issued by private lenders, similar to how the FDIC guarantees bank deposits. The other options - Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Reserve - all play a role in purchasing, selling, or securing mortgages, but Ginnie Mae's role is solely to ensure the timely payment of mortgage-backed securities.
