• Market Awareness : Stay updated on market trends, lending laws, and regulations to ensure compliance and provide informed advice to clients.

Required Skills and Qualifications

Work Environment

· 100% fully remote position . Your self-sufficiency is your lifeline in this role.

· In-house processor and licensed LOA is included at no fee/discount in commission . You and your referral partners will have the cell phone number of a licensed LOA to take in loan applications and pre-approval documents, and an in-house processor for your files when they are in contract. This is a huge benefit to build the trust of your team with your referral partners, and allow you to focus on what you do best- originating loans!

· Guaranteed commission rate per BPS . We don’t play the “if you do this, you get that amount of BPS game.” Flat rate BPS for your self-produced leads, and house leads.
· Mentorship. Our broker owner is a highly performing, top-producing Loan Officer in his state, and his mission is to foster and mentor loan officers. You won't be working under a nameless broker who doesn't know what you deal with on a daily basis.
