Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Generate residential mortgage business through self-sourced, outside sales activities including open houses, referral networks, community events, and business-to-business outreach.
  • • Cultivate and maintain relationships with realtors, builders, attorneys, financial advisors, CPAs, and Select Employer Groups (SEGs) to drive consistent referral activity.
  • • Provide high-touch, end-to-end mortgage service to members and prospects, guiding them from initial consultation through loan closing.
  • • Conduct in-person meetings with clients and prospects to assess financial needs, advise on loan options, and collect required documentation.
  • • Perform pre-underwriting analysis, submit loan applications, and follow up on status throughout the loan process.
  • • Host and participate in educational seminars, webinars, and community events to promote credit union lending services and generate new business.

  • • Proficient in loan origination systems, preferably Encompass 360.
