Are you looking to work alongside leaders in the mortgage industry who will help you grow your career?

We're looking for a full-time Loan Partner 2 (LP2) to help our applicants get mortgage-ready and support them throughout the loan process. The Loan Partner is responsible for accurately prequalifying home loan applications, issuing and managing quality pre-approval letters, and overseeing the success of every loan in the committed pipeline.

The LP2 works cohesively with the Loan Officer(s), borrowers, loan processors, underwriters, and third parties to close 95%+ of all loans on time while delivering an outstanding experience from application to close.

If you're an organized, detail-oriented professional driven to succeed-and you want to join a team that empowers employees, clients, and partners to reach their goals-we want to hear from you.
