It depends on your state. In California Realtors and Loan Officers use the same license to sell R/E and do loans. So I can sell a home and do the loan for the same property. However it's not ethical for a Realtor in California to negotiate terms of a mortgage note if they don't have the proper training or experience. Realtors should leave financing questions and negotiating up to the Loan Officer. Loan Officers don't typically give negotiating advice to their clients when it comes to buying or selling a home we leave that to Realtors. However again, some Realtors used to be Loan Officers, and some Loan Officers used to be Realtors so it can be acceptable in some cases in California.

To buy an existing mortgage note all you need to do is contact the note holder / lender and see if they are interested in selling.

Can you sell your house that you have only owned for one year?

Working as a mortgage loan officer for close to 20 years, typically selling the house you have purchased one year ago, with a high loan to value, will result in you taking a loss after paying realtor fees and other expenses. You should be able to still sell! However, if you have what is known as a hard pre-payment penalty in your note rider or mortgage, there will be the expense paid to the lender to pay off the mortgage early. This can range from 1% of the mortgage balance to up to 6 months worth of interest. If you have a soft pre-payment penalty, the lender does not charge you this penalty for selling the house, only if you refinance for different terms. Check your Mortgage and your Mortgage Note and if applicable, the Mortgage Note Rider. These documents should have been given to you at closing.

Is a note valid if not signed by mortgage lender?

Yes. The mortgage secures the debt. The note is simply a promise that you repay the money. If you sign the note, then you are liable for the debt. The note is simply your promise to pay back the money you borrowed. If you signed the mortgage, and you default on the promises and covenants of the note and mortgage, then the mortgagee (bank) has the right to foreclose on you. The default of mortgage payments are a breach of contract which allows the lender to foreclose on your home.
