Mortgage Loan Officer

Mortgage Loan Officer 

This is a full time, in-office position based in our Phoenix location. This is not a remote or hybrid role, so please only apply if you are able to commute and work on-site. 

Entry-level Mortgage Loan Origination position with training program. 

A Mortgage Loan Officer uses phone sales skills to communicate with clients and obtain new business. We pay for your licensing and provide a base plus commission for the first few months to get your career started. This role takes real hustle, especially in the first few months while you are studying for your license and learning the business. We are looking for motivated people who are willing to put in extra work early because they understand the payoff is worth it. We offer a structured path from an entry-level position, through licensing, to becoming a producing loan officer, with a clear track for continued career growth as you prove yourself. 

Compensation 

• Year one earning potential while training and building your book: $40,000-$100,000, dependent upon performance 

• Our goal is to have you licensed and originating mortgages within 6 months, but the timing of how quickly this happens is more in your control than ours 

• Long-term earning potential once you are an established, producing loan officer: our Executive and President's Club loan officers typically earn between $75,000-$250,000 annually 

Responsibilities and Duties 

• Must pass the MLO SAFE exam with a 75% or better (we pay for this) 

• Complete the 20-hour SAFE education course (we pay for this) 

• In-office work, typically 40-50 hours per week 

• Learn and understand mortgage guidelines (we provide training) 

• Use strong sales and communication skills to obtain new business (we provide coaching) 

• Work as part of a team to hit goals and help grow the company 

Essential Skills 

• Work ethic and self-motivation. This role takes long days early on, and the people who do well here keep moving without someone standing over them. 

• Coachability. You will get direct feedback often. The people who succeed act on it quickly instead of defending their approach. 

• Communication skills, verbal and written. Most of this job happens on the phone, and clear writing matters for following up with clients and partners. 

• Comfort holding sales conversations by phone. You will spend a large part of your day calling and talking with potential clients, so you have to be willing to pick up the phone and have the conversation. 

• Persistence through rejection. Most calls will not turn into business. That is normal, and the people who last here expect it. 

• Ability to study on your own. We pay for your licensing course and exam, but the studying is on you, and passing it is what unlocks the rest of this career. 

• Basic math skills. You will work with percentages, loan amounts, and payment figures daily and need to be comfortable doing that quickly and accurately. 

• Complex thinking and problem solving. No two borrowers are the same, and mortgage guidelines require you to think through the details rather than follow a script. Qualifications 

• Minimum high-school education or equivalent 

• Ability to commute and work in our Phoenix office, located near the I-10 and Baseline Rd, every day 

• Past sales experience a plus 

• No mortgage experience necessary
