Mortgage Loan Officer

Job Description Echelon Home Loans is seeking a relationship-driven Loan Officer (LO) to join a well-supported, high-visibility mortgage platform integrated with three high-producing Keller Williams market centers in Florida. This role is designed for an LO who wants meaningful opportunity without being left on an island. You will step into an environment with immediate access to active real estate offices and leadership that is intentionally encouraging agent adoption of Echelon as the preferred lending partner. While referrals are actively supported, success in this role still requires personal initiative, presence, and relationship building. This is not a passive role — it is a leadership-facing position inside the offices. You will be backed by a collaborative internal team, including concierge support, processing support, leadership alignment, and technology systems built to reduce friction and improve close rates. The expectation is not that you “do everything yourself,” but that you own the borrower and agent relationship while the team supports execution. This is an opportunity for a Loan Officer who wants to be embedded in the business, visible to agents, trusted by leadership, and positioned for long-term growth — not just transactional volume.
