Get Started Using the Selling System

To get started with the Freddie Mac selling system, you must complete all the forms that apply to you in Steps 1-3 (these steps can be completed simultaneously).  In order to take advantage of all the selling system has to offer, we highly recommend participating in the training described in Step 4.

Step 1:  Have you completed, signed and submitted authorized wiring instructions to Freddie Mac through MIDANET?

• If Yes, skip ahead to Step 2.

Step 2:  Complete your User ID & Roles Form

• Seller/Servicers delivering for Cash only: Please complete the Cash User IDs & Roles form [PDF 43K] and fax to 703-738-1532. This form is required by the majority of customers using the Freddie Mac selling system.
