Mortgage Loan Originator

Help More People Find Their Way Home

Are you a relationship-driven mortgage professional who believes lending should be about more than approving applications? Do you enjoy solving complex challenges, building trust with borrowers, and finding creative ways to help people achieve home ownership?

Opportunity Resource Fund (Opp Fund) is looking for a motivated, customer-focused Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) who wants to make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.

As a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), Opp Fund provides access to responsible mortgage financing for individuals and families who may face barriers with traditional lenders. We look beyond the application to understand each borrower's circumstances and identify solutions that make home ownership possible. When traditional lending options fall short, our flexible portfolio lending and community-focused programs can open doors that might otherwise remain closed.

Why

Join Opp Fund? Make an impact beyond the transaction.

Help individuals and families navigate the path to home ownership through personalized guidance, creative problem-solving, and responsible lending.

Access a broader range of lending solutions.

Work with a diverse portfolio of mortgage products and assistance programs, including:

• FHA, MSHDA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac mortgage programs
• Opp Fund's proprietary Fresh Opportunity Mortgage
  , designed to expand access to home ownership
• Down payment assistance (DPA) programs, based on eligibility and funding availability
• Home repair financing opportunities through the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)

Build a career with greater stability.

Unlike many traditional mortgage origination roles that rely heavily on market conditions and fluctuating interest rates, this position offers a base salary plus commission
. You'll have the opportunity to grow your earnings while benefiting from a consistent 40-hour workweek and a healthy work-life balance.

Focus on relationships, not pressure.

At Opp Fund, success means more than closing loans. It means understanding borrowers' needs, identifying the right financing solutions, and building lasting relationships that strengthen Michigan communities.

Your Primary Market

This position will primarily serve communities in the West Michigan/Greater Grand Rapids area. You'll build relationships with prospective home buyers, referral partners, and community organizations to expand access to home ownership throughout the region.

• Prior experience in mortgage lending, loan origination, sales, or a related customer-facing role.
• Strong customer service and relationship-building skills, with the ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
• A problem-solving mindset and the ability to identify lending solutions for borrowers facing complex financial or eligibility challenges.
