Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two largest purchasers of mortgage loans on the secondary market. However, there are buyers of mortgage loans on the secondary mortgage market who purchase mortgage loans from multiple smaller mortgage bankers.

Middle-level mortgage bankers will purchase mortgages from dozens of small to mid-sized lenders and package them up in bulks as mortgage-backed securities, often referred to as MBS.

The middle-level regional mortgage bankers will then sell the mortgage loans they purchase from smaller mortgage bankers and correspondent lenders and sell them to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not purchase mortgage loans that do not conform to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac Guidelines. This is why conventional loans are called conforming loans.
