Your Opportunity

At Envoy Mortgage, part of the PLACE family of companies, we are building a best-in-class mortgage experience powered by people who genuinely care about helping clients achieve homeownership. Our standards are high, our team is driven, and our commitment is to deliver an exceptional experience on every loan we touch.

This is YOUR CHANCE to be at the heart of the mortgage process. As a Loan Originator Assistant, you will partner directly with Loan Originators, clients, and Realtors to support the full lifecycle of every loan from application to close. If you are organized, client-focused, and thrive in a fast-moving environment where every detail matters, this is your PLACE.

Who Develops You: Loan Originator / Branch Manager

What You're Great At

You are the kind of person who takes ownership of every file that crosses your desk. You are detail-oriented enough to catch the inconsistencies others miss, organized enough to juggle multiple loans in various stages at once, and people-focused enough to make every client and Realtor interaction feel seamless. You communicate proactively, follow up without being asked, and take pride in keeping transactions moving forward. You are a self-starter who does not need someone looking over your shoulder to stay on task, and you bring energy and professionalism to every interaction whether it is with a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned real estate agent.

What You'll Do

• Manage a pipeline of conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans along with 203K and reverse mortgage products.
• Request and gather relevant information and documents from borrowers to complete loan applications, structure, and all required disclosures.
• Enter loan applications into the Loan Origination System (LOS) and assign to the appropriate Originator or LOA.
• Review all loan package paperwork for inconsistencies, omissions, and inaccurate income calculations, reporting any errors to the Originator immediately.
• Call and obtain conditions from borrowers and Realtors to clear conditions as necessary, keeping transactions moving toward close.
• Monitor loan progress and communicate effectively with borrowers and all transaction parties on status updates throughout the process.
• Research investor guidelines and stay current on program changes that affect processing or originating of loans in the pipeline.
• Communicate loan approvals by sending pre-approval and commitment letters to all parties involved in the transaction.
• Coordinate closing details with clients including final payment, rate, and cash to close figures.
• Review all closing statements and compare to signed loan estimate worksheets before signings, correcting any discrepancies.
• Review, create, and deliver disclosure and re-disclosure packages to borrowers and document all required receipts.
• Facilitate timely closings by working directly with the Title Company and client to schedule and confirm all closing logistics.
• Order appraisals and third-party services including VOE, Title, certifications, and related documents to create complete loan packages for processing.
• Develop a complete working knowledge of Envoy's products, systems, competitive advantages, processes, policies, and procedures.

What You Bring

• 3 to 5+ years of experience as a Loan Originator Assistant, Loan Partner, Processor, Loan Officer, or Underwriter preferred.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; Bachelor's degree is a plus.
