Summary

Advance Your Career: From Mortgage Loan Officer to Business Owner

Success in mortgage lending extends beyond closing individual transactions—it comes from building dependable, long-term business relationships that create consistent growth.

We are looking for an experienced, high-performing Mortgage Loan Officer who is ready to move beyond a traditional desk position and fixed compensation model. This unique partnership opportunity is designed for an MLO who wants to drive substantial production, establish and lead a successful branch, and serve as the trusted lending partner to a premier real estate sales team with a steady pipeline of buyer and seller referrals.

This opportunity is ideal for a loan officer who views mortgage lending as a relationship-focused, collaborative, and referral-driven business—not merely a collection of transactions.

You will partner with an established, PLACE-powered real estate team that provides ongoing inbound opportunities from buyers and sellers and is dedicated to responsiveness, transparency, and outstanding client service. The team is seeking a long-term mortgage partner who will grow alongside the business—not another lender who is only passing through.

You will not be one lender among many. You will be the trusted lender.

Qualifications

Prior experience as a Mortgage Loan Officer (required)

Verifiable closed loan volume (recent production history required)

Active or eligible NMLS license

Strong understanding of purchase transactions (not just refi)

Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to build something meaningful

This is not a training role. This is a growth and leadership role.
