Job description

Forward Loans is a modern independent mortgage brokerage built for loan officers who want to own their business, not just their pipeline. Our platform combines a wholesale Mortgage Marketplace with correspondent channels, branded content, and real business infrastructure so you can operate like a CEO instead of a W-2 salesperson.

About Forward Loans

• Independent brokerage with a Mortgage Marketplace that provides access to wholesale rates from 50+ lenders and hundreds of loan programs nationwide
• Correspondent channels that expand pricing and structure options for you and your agents
• Built around personal brand, ownership, and leverage so your name is on the back of the jersey, not buried under a corporate logo
• Marketing, media, and systems already built so you plug into a proven platform instead of starting from scratch

You are not just joining a mortgage company.

You are plugging into an infrastructure designed to help you build a real loan officer business with brand, margin, and control.

What you will do

• Originate residential mortgages across purchase, refi, and investor scenarios using our Mortgage Marketplace and correspondent options
• Structure loans using a wide product menu including conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, non QM, DSCR, and other investor solutions
• Run your book of business like a P&L. Protect margin, improve pull through, and increase conversion by leading with options and advice
• Build and deepen relationships with real estate agents, financial professionals, and referral partners
• Use our technology stack, media tools, and content to stay in front of your database and attract inbound business
• Work closely with operations and leadership to move files from application to clear to close with high communication standards

How our platform supports you

• Mortgage Marketplace with real time pricing, rate monitoring tools, and digital applications your clients can access from anywhere
• Correspondent channels that allow stronger pricing, more control over execution, and better long term strategy for key agents and customers
• Brand first approach. We help you build and grow your personal brand with support in social media strategy, scripts, and positioning as the expert in your market
• Marketing and media. Studio style video sessions, professional editing support, and campaigns designed to attract, not chase, business
• Proven systems. CRM automation, follow up frameworks, and business coaching so you operate like an owner with real leverage, not just a producer taking orders

What we are looking for

• Active NMLS license in at least 1 of these states: AZ, CA, CO, TX, OR
• 2+ years recent experience as a producing Mortgage Loan Officer
• Purchase focused production and a history of working closely with referral partners
• Comfort with technology, CRM usage, and basic video or social as part of your outreach
• Ownership mindset. You want to control your business, build your brand, and keep more of what you earn

Location

• Phoenix, AZ based
• Remote in other company licensed states, subject to licensing and production fit

How to apply

Apply through LinkedIn with your resume and NMLS ID.

To help us evaluate fit, you may include:

• Last 12 months funded volume
• Product mix and primary markets
• Key referral sources and where you want to grow next

If you are ready to move from employee mindset to ownership, Forward Loans is the platform to build on.
