All current licensed brokers in OHIO are invited to be registered with HUD and to sell HUD-owned homes. If you are the designated broker for your company, please complete the registration process so you and all the licensees working with you may participate. If yours is a multi-office firm, please register once for each office. It is necessary to renew your registration annually in order to ensure that your HUD-issued Name Address Identifier Number (NAID#) stays current.

The NAID# is assigned to the broker (not individual agents) in each office location. That registered broker is required to sign each HUD-9548 Sales Contract before it is submitted. Non-Profit Organizations (NPO) that are approved to purchase HUD homes through the Direct Sales Programs also apply for and receive a NAID# when their application and homeownership-focused mission is approved. Except for the few Direct Sales Program participants, EVERY BUYER must work with a HUD-registered real estate licensee to bid for and purchase a HUD home.

The broker is paid a commission at the time of transaction settlement and closing that is an amount up to 5% of the sales price. Remember "NAID" rhymes with "PAID." We want you to be successful selling HUD homes!

National Home Management Solutions (NHMS) is the Management and Marketing (M&M) Contractor that HUD has designated to assist eligible brokers and NPOs to apply for a NAID#. Please review the required forms known as SAMS 1111 and SAMS 1111-A . (SAMS stands for Single Family Acquired Asset Management System, which is HUD’s computerized tracking system.) Please read and follow the instructions that accompany the SAMS 1111 and 1111-A to be certain you also include other required documentation.
