Mortgage Loan Officer

INTRO/ABOUT

For those interested in exploring an entry level position in the mortgage industry, this is your opportunity. Trulo Mortgage is a fast-growing start-up mortgage company seeking motivated individuals who want the ability to set their own income where there is no cap on earning potential or upward mobility within the company.

All new hires with no direct mortgage experience as a loan originator will initially undergo a 2-week training program. During the training you will be provided with the tools you need to properly present the loan options we offer. The training will be focused on a combination of loan product knowledge as well as sales knowledge.

Once you pass the training program, your primary role will be outbound sales calls to online inquiry leads. We do not cold call, all the leads we reach out to have inquired directly with us about one of the loan programs we offer. We do all marketing in-house to ensure lead quality and full control of lead flow.

You will be reaching out and speaking with prospects who have inquired about a loan for an investment/rental property long term financing, fix & flip/rehab, hard money or bridge, commercial property, and ground up construction loans. All of the loan types we currently offer are for investment properties and considered business purpose loans, primarily on 1–4-unit residential properties, and occasionally commercial properties. Most of the loan types we offer are considered hard money loans.

An ideal candidate will have studied or is currently studying one of the following fields or similar in college, although this is NOT a requirement or prerequisite for the position: Finance, Business Administration/Management or other business fields, Economics, Communications, Accounting, and Marketing/Sales.

ROLE DETAILS

For the first 60-120 days you will be working closely with the broker/owner who will mentor and coach you to ensure that you have the tools you need to succeed in the industry. Given that this position is for a start up role, we are seeking individuals who ideally want to evolve to a top producer position, where they will build a team around them, or a leadership position such as Team Lead or Sales Manager, where you would oversee other LOs and sales staff to ensure their success. We are a fast-growing company, and the sky is the limit, and we are seeking individuals who are excited and driven by their growth potential within the company.

Note: Most business purpose loan products do not require this, but those applying should be willing to undergo the coursework, testing, and prerequisites needed to obtain an NMLS loan originators license if necessary or required.

COMPENSATION

The pay will be a base plus commission. The compensation will primarily be commission based. Those seeking a large base need not apply, as the role is designed for commission motivated individuals who like the ability to set their income through their production.

The pay indicated is the first year range of base plus commission. A Loan Originator meeting our minimum production standards will make a minimum of $70-75k per year. Most Loan Originators will be able to exceed that, as it is based on meeting the minimum production requirement. A starting role can expect to make anywhere from $3k-$4k base (based on experience) per month, plus a commission of $4k-$20k per month in their first year.

Note that one advantage to working with real estate investors is that many of them become repeat business. Many of our clients are full time real estate investors who are always buying new property or refinancing existing properties in their portfolio. If they had a good experience with you initially, they will usually come back to use you again, creating a snowball effect in terms of your originations and commissions.

Any further details or questions regarding the pay structure will be discussed in detail on our introductory call.
