Mortgage Loan Officer Assistant

Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for an exceptional Loan Officer Assistant/Mortgage Loan Partner to join our growing mortgage team.

This is not simply an administrative position. We are looking for someone who can become a true right-hand to the Loan Officer —someone who is highly organized, extremely detail-oriented, knowledgeable about mortgage lending, comfortable with technology, and proactive enough to identify and solve problems before they become issues.

The ideal candidate takes ownership of their files, communicates exceptionally well, and understands that their job is to help the Loan Officer save time, provide an exceptional client experience, and close more loans.
