Maintain accurate, timely records in customer relationship management (CRM), telephony, and loan origination systems, including contact attempts, call outcomes, borrower information, next steps, and pipeline status.
Actively manage the loan pipeline, monitor aging and outstanding conditions, and coordinate with processing, underwriting, and closing teams to resolve issues, reduce avoidable fallout, and support timely funding.
