Senior Mortgage Partner and Branch Growth Leader

The Platz Group; Everett (WA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job description

Summary

We are seeking an experienced, producing Mortgage Loan Officer who wants more than just a desk and a comp plan.

This is a partnership opportunity for an MLO who wants to:

• Produce at a high level
• Grow and lead a branch
• Become the first-choice lending partner for a high-performing real estate sales team with consistent buyer and seller volume

This role is ideal for an MLO who sees the future of lending as integrated, relational, and referral-driven, not transactional.

What Makes This Different

You will be strategically aligned with an established PLACE-powered real estate team that:

• Generates consistent inbound buyer and seller leads
• Values speed, clarity, and client experience
• Wants a long-term mortgage partner, not a rotating list of lenders

You won’t be “one of many.”

You’ll be the lender.

Who This Is For

• A producing MLO who wants more control, more influence, and more upside
• A leader who wants to grow a branch, not just close files
• A professional who values partnership over silos

If you’ve been looking for the right seat, this is it.

Responsibilities

• Originate and close residential mortgage loans with excellence and speed
• Serve as the primary mortgage partner for our real estate sales team’s leads
• Collaborate closely with agents to convert, pre-approve, and close buyers
• Build, grow, and eventually lead a branch or production pod
• Maintain strong referral relationships with agents, builders, and partners
• Deliver a best‑in‑class borrower experience from pre‑approval to closing

Qualifications

• Prior experience as a Mortgage Loan Officer (required)
• Verifiable closed loan volume (recent production history required)
• Active or eligible NMLS license
• Strong understanding of purchase transactions (not just refi)
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to build something meaningful
• High integrity, strong communication skills, and team‑first mentality

This is not a training role.

This is a growth and leadership role.
