Advanced Loan Officer Assistant

Overview

Do you love helping people get their dream home but don’t love hunting for new leads? If so, we’re looking for you! We’re hiring a full‑time loan partner that will work alongside our loan officer to structure loans for clients and help get applicants mortgage ready. While our loan officer is out in the field driving more loan business to fill the pipeline, you’ll be analyzing customer credit, reviewing income, and assessing documents to ensure an efficient and successful close.

Jobseekers should be highly motivated, goal‑driven, and detail‑oriented professionals who are eager to succeed. Since this is a salaried position, you’ll never have to worry about commission. If you’re a loan officer who always felt they never quite fit the sales mold, this is the role you’ve been looking for. If you want to join a team that empowers you to embrace your natural talents and achieve your career goals, apply today!
