Mortgage Loan Officer Assistant
Summary:
Our Loan Officer Assistants are licensed mortgage loan originators (licensed with the NMLS and passed the national SAFE MLO test at a prometric testing center) who do not generate leads but rather handle the loan origination process from start to finish on behalf of our MLOs as they go out and generate the leads for you. You’ll guide borrowers through the loan application, shop multiple lenders for the best loan options, lock the loan at the best interest rate, and manage the file through to submission.
Our Company and Our Team:
NEXA Mortgage, LLC – the largest mortgage brokerage in the United States, offering over over 280 lending partners, advanced technology, and a stable platform for growth as well as the ability to make 100% of your commission without paying broker fees when you follow the brokerage's suggested way to close a loan.
Caritas Mortgage Group empowered by NEXA Lending – We are a father-and-sons team of wholesale mortgage loan originators under the brokerage of NEXA Lending and we are licensed in Florida, Missouri, and Tennessee and plan to grow into other states with time. We are led by our father Doug who has been a wholesale MLO for nearly 30 years and comes with a wealth of experience and knowledge of laws and guidelines to help us provide solutions and close loans smoothly for our borrowers and realtor partners. Garrett brings 5 years of experience as a wholesale MLO after a career in I.T. and marketing and his brother Martin brings 1 year of experience as a wholesale MLO after a career in the Marine Corps, education as a teacher and principal, as well as automotive sales. Combined, we are a powerhouse of mortgage loan origination knowledge, sales, marketing, and technology to help you grow in wealth, knowledge, and experience. If you'd like to not join our team but would like to become an MLO, we can help guide you as much or as little as you'd like and NEXA University can help you through your first six loans. This is a remote position, so you can work from home and do not need to be in our state or town.
Status: 1099 Independent Contractor | Full-Time | Remote | Set Your Own Hours
Compensation: Commission-Based – You earn a share of the MLO’s commission from each closed loan (more than a Processor, but less than the originating MLO).
Primary Responsibilities:
Accept and process mortgage loan applications as a licensed mortgage loan originator (must have passed the national SAFE MLO Test).
Shop multiple lenders to find the best loan products, pricing, and structures for borrowers.
Lock loans and coordinate with underwriters, processors, and title companies through funding.
Collect and verify borrower documentation (income, assets, liabilities, and credit).
Communicate with clients to ensure clarity, timeliness, and confidence throughout the loan process.
Support the team mission — enabling the MLOs to focus solely on lead generation and relationship building so business keeps coming in.
Ideal Candidate:
Analytical, detail-oriented, and client-service driven — someone who loves “doing the work” of lending but prefers not to cold-call realtors or prospective borrowers.
