CMortgage origination requires a different brokerage license
DThe Department of Commerce automatically revokes one license when both are held

Explanation

Holding dual licenses as both a real estate agent and mortgage loan originator creates a potential conflict of interest—the agent may benefit financially from steering clients to their own mortgage services. This must be disclosed to clients under Minnesota ethics rules and RESPA's Affiliated Business Arrangement (AfBA) disclosure requirements.
