Existing law exempts from the usury limitation set forth in Section 1 of Article XV of the California Constitution a loan or forbearance made or arranged by any person licensed as a real estate broker by the State of California, and secured, directly or collaterally, in whole or in part on real property. Existing law provides that a loan or forbearance is arranged by a person licensed as a real estate broker when the broker takes any of specified actions, including (1) acting for compensation or in expectation of compensation for soliciting, negotiating, or arranging the loan for another, and (2) acting for compensation or in expectation of compensation for selling, buying, leasing, exchanging, or negotiating the sale, purchase, lease, or exchange of real property or a business for another and arranging a forbearance, extension, or refinancing of any loan in connection with that sale, purchase, lease, exchange of, or an improvement to, real property or a business. Existing law defines the term "made or arranged" to include any loan made by a person licensed as a real estate broker as a principal or as an agent for others, and whether or not the person is acting within the course and scope of such license.
