Job description

We're partnering with a rapidly growing financial institution that's taking a different approach to mortgage lending, combining a unique portfolio lending platform, competitive conventional financing options, and an entrepreneurial culture built around helping Loan Officers grow their businesses.

Many successful Mortgage Loan Officers reach a point where their growth isn't limited by their ability to generate referrals, but by what their lending platform allows them to do. They have strong relationships with Realtors, builders, and other referral partners, but often encounter financing scenarios their current organization can't accommodate or compete effectively on.

This opportunity is built for those originators.

Whether you're currently with a bank, independent mortgage lender, or brokerage, this is an opportunity to leverage the relationships you've already built while gaining access to additional lending solutions that can help you capture more business.

From conventional and jumbo financing to construction, physician, bridge, and complex portfolio scenarios, you'll have the ability to serve a broader range of borrowers without having to become an expert in every product on day one.

Backed by an accessible leadership team and continued investment in the mortgage division, this is an opportunity to build your business on a growing national platform rather than simply become another Loan Officer inside a large organization.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

More opportunities from the relationships you already have.

Rather than relying solely on generating more leads, you'll have access to lending solutions that can help you capture transactions you may currently be referring elsewhere or losing to competitors.

Access conventional, jumbo, construction to permanent, physician, bridge, and specialized portfolio lending solutions designed to accommodate borrowers whose needs extend beyond traditional agency guidelines.

Combine conventional and secondary market financing with portfolio lending flexibility, allowing you to compete for traditional mortgage business while offering solutions many lenders simply don't have.

Entrepreneurial leadership and flexibility.

Work directly with an experienced mortgage leadership team that values relationships, collaboration, and finding practical solutions to challenging financing scenarios.

A growing national platform.

Work remotely while building your local referral network, supported by the resources and infrastructure of a federally regulated financial institution with lending capabilities nationwide.

Opportunity for long-term growth.

Join a mortgage division that's continuing to invest in its people, products, and national expansion, with opportunities to grow alongside the organization.

What You'll Be Doing

• Continue building and growing a self-generated, relationship-based mortgage business.
• Develop and strengthen referral relationships with Realtors, builders, financial advisors, attorneys, CPAs, and other centers of influence.
• Help borrowers navigate conventional, jumbo, construction, and complex financing scenarios.
• Identify opportunities to capture additional business through specialized portfolio lending solutions.
• Partner closely with underwriting, operations, and leadership to deliver a strong client experience.
• Expand your local market presence while leveraging a national lending platform.
• Contribute to the continued growth of an entrepreneurial mortgage division.

What They're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Mortgage Loan Officer with a track record of self-generated production.
• Established referral relationships and credibility within your local market.
• Strong purchase business and a relationship-driven approach to originating loans.
• An entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to increase production and expand your referral network.
• Strong communication, consultative sales, and relationship management skills.
• Interest in helping borrowers with financing needs beyond traditional mortgage guidelines.
• Experience with conventional, jumbo, construction, physician, or portfolio lending is valuable but not required.

We're particularly interested in originators who have built relationships with Realtors, builders, business owners, physicians, financial advisors, and other professionals whose clients may benefit from more flexible financing solutions.

Candidates from community and regional banks, independent mortgage banks, correspondent lenders, and mortgage brokerages are encouraged to explore the opportunity.

Who Will Thrive Here?

The ideal candidate is an experienced, self-generating Loan Officer who has already established a foundation of referral business but sees an opportunity to do more.

You may be generating consistent production today but feel limited by your company's product offerings, pricing, bureaucracy, or ability to accommodate unique borrower situations.

You don't necessarily need to be originating complex portfolio loans today. What matters is that you have the relationships, initiative, and desire to grow your business by offering clients and referral partners more solutions.

If you're looking for a platform that gives you more ways to compete, solve problems, and build long-term production, let's chat!
