Job Description

Job Summary

We are seeking a proven Wholesale Mortgage Originator for a direct hire opportunity in Aliso Viejo, CA. This role is ideal for an experienced private money, bridge, or non-agency lending professional with an active network of high-producing mortgage brokers, luxury real estate agents, high-net-worth borrowers, and professional referral sources.

This is not an entry-level or call-center mortgage role. The position is focused on relationship-driven origination of private money loans, typically ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $5 million, secured by quality California properties valued from $3 million to $20 million.

The successful candidate will join a professional, performance-oriented environment that values sound judgment, urgency, discretion, and long-term relationship building. This opportunity offers supportive leadership, strong collaboration with internal lending teams, and the ability to build a high-quality pipeline through trusted referral partnerships rather than purchased leads.

Key Responsibilities

- Originate private money and bridge loan opportunities by activating and expanding established referral relationships.
- Qualify and structure loan scenarios by evaluating collateral, borrower strength, leverage, liquidity, timing, and exit strategy.
- Lead transactions from initial inquiry through commitment, underwriting, processing, closing, and funding.
- Communicate clearly and professionally with referral partners, borrowers, and internal teams while setting accurate expectations.
- Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline activity, next steps, projected volume, conversion ratios, and production forecasts.
- Operate in compliance with company policies and applicable private money lending requirements.

Compensation and Benefits

- Salary: $70,000 per year.
- Job Type: Direct hire.
- Location: Aliso Viejo, CA.
- Work Arrangement: Full-time, office-based role in Aliso Viejo with field meetings as needed with referral partners.
