Position: Junior Loan Officer / Licensed Sales Assistant

We re looking for a motivated, detail-oriented mortgage professional to join our growing team as a Junior Loan Officer / Licensed Sales Assistant
. This is a hybrid role built for someone ready to sharpen their skills supporting an active production team — while simultaneously building toward their own loan pipeline.

If you re hungry to grow in the mortgage industry, thrive in a purchase-heavy environment, and want mentorship alongside real earning potential, this seat was made for you

What You ll Do
  • Assist senior loan officers with pipeline management, borrower communication, and file coordination
  • Prepare loan files for submission, ensuring all documentation meets lender guidelines
  • Conduct initial borrower consultations and collect required financial documentation
  • Follow up with clients, real estate agents, and referral partners to keep transactions on track
Loan Origination (Pipeline Development)
  • Work toward originating your own purchase and refinance transactions under mentorship
  • Build and nurture relationships with real estate agents, buyers, and referral sources
  • Guide borrowers through the full loan process — from pre-approval through closing
  • Present and explain loan products including Conventional, FHA, and VA programs
Operations & Communication
  • Maintain accurate CRM records and update loan status throughout the transaction
  • Coordinate with processors, underwriters, and title/escrow teams
  • Communicate proactively with Spanish-speaking clients and partners (bilingual candidates strongly preferred)
What We re Looking For Required
  • 1–2 years of experience in mortgage lending, banking, real estate, or a related financial services role
  • Strong understanding of the loan process and mortgage fundamentals
  • Bilingual in English and Spanish — Spanish-speaking clients are a key part of our market
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple files and deadlines simultaneously
  • Self-starter with a team-first mindset
Preferred
  • Active NMLS MLO license (or willingness to obtain — sponsorship available for the right candidate)
  • Experience with purchase transactions and working alongside real estate agents
  • Familiarity with Conventional, FHA, and VA loan guidelines
What We Offer
  • Base salary + commission structure with clear earning growth tied to production
  • Mentorship from experienced loan officers with an established purchase pipeline
  • Licensing support and sponsorship for candidates not yet NMLS-licensed
  • Hybrid work flexibility — balance in-office collaboration with remote productivity
  • A culture that invests in your long-term career, not just your current role
