Loan Specialist - Kansas City Area

Whether you come from a background in sales, business development, hospitality, or retail, you can be successful in our role. We don’t require a specific degree or experience, but we’re looking for translatable skills and relevant expertise. We will provide you with the training and development opportunities needed to build a career here! 

About The Role: 

As a Loan Specialist, you'll be the friendly voice guiding and educating our borrowers on their VA benefit. You'll initiate the first step in the home buying journey and set the stage for a successful partnership. Our marketing team works hard to bring in fresh leads, so most of the time, you’re calling people who are already interested rather than cold-calling strangers. It’s demanding, for sure, but there’s something really rewarding about knowing you’re helping someone secure their dream home. 

Don't have a mortgage background? No sweat - this role is an entry level position within our company where mortgage experience is a plus but not a necessity.  

Dedicated Loan Specialists may have a schedule outside of normal business hours (including evenings & weekends) depending on the guidance and needs of your Loan Officer. While there is some flexibility to set your own schedule, it is done so alongside the goals set by your specific Loan Officer.

Flex Loan Specialists have a schedule outside of normal business hours. They have the flexibility to set their own schedule. This is a full-time position; however, those hours can be worked anytime of their choosing; within the following guidelines: 

• Anytime between 12PM-10PM Monday through Friday and anytime between 8AM-10PM Saturday and Sunday. 

• Flex Loan Specialists are required to work 2 nights a week until 10PM. 

• Flex Loan Specialists are required to work at least 32 weekend hours per month. 

Here’s a snapshot of what you’d be doing: 

• Engaging with borrowers, understanding their goals, and providing expert guidance to ensure they feel informed, confident, and ready to move forward.

• Running their credit through an online system and helping them find the right loan for their situation.

• Walking borrowers through the loan process, explaining everything clearly, and helping them get the right rates and terms. 

• Handling all the paperwork and keeping the borrower’s file on track until the loan is officially closed.

• And on top of that, you’d be contributing to the team’s success by jumping in wherever you’re needed. Collaboration with internal and external parties is critical to this role.

Want a career that pays you for what you're worth? In this base + commission role, top producers are earning around $76K in their first year, $94K by their second year, and $112K by year three. We don’t cap your ambition—we reward it.

To sweeten the deal, we’re offering a $500 sign-on bonus, and an additional $1000 upon passing your SAFE exam. 

One important thing—you’d need to be NMLS licensed (but we can help you get that when you start). 

About you:

• Master Communicator: You possess exceptional written and interpersonal communication skills, effortlessly weaving persuasive narratives to engage clients.

• Champion of Integrity: Integrity isn't just a word to you; it's the cornerstone of every interaction, reflecting a deep-seated commitment to uplift and empower those around you.

• Embrace the Grind: You thrive in an environment that demands persistence and are undeterred by repetitive tasks, viewing them as opportunities to refine your sales acumen.

• Team Dynamo: Collaborative by nature, you revel in the camaraderie of teamwork, delighting in delivering top-tier support and services to your colleagues and clients alike.

• Self-Propelled Achiever: Driven by an inner fire, you set ambitious goals and stop at nothing to conquer them, continuously pushing the boundaries of your own success.

• Problem-Solving Maestro: Armed with quick wit and sharp instincts, you possess a knack for swiftly resolving issues, ensuring seamless operations in even the most tumultuous environments.

• Adaptable Dynamo: You excel in the dynamic whirlwind of a fast-paced environment, thriving on change and emerging stronger with every challenge.

About Us:

We’re all about helping Veterans and military families become homeowners. In two short decades, we closed over 500,000 VA Loans and became the #1 VA lender for homebuyers in the nation. But to us, success isn’t measured in numbers. Our success is measured in living our values every day: Be Passionate and Have Fun, Deliver Results with Integrity and Enhance Lives Every Day. We always strive to provide friendly service to military homebuyers and their families. And we always seek to lift up people and communities across the country.

We’re so glad you’re here checking out this opportunity! If this role gets you excited but you’re worried you don’t check every box – don't sweat it. We’re more interested in what you can bring to the team than a perfect checklist. If you’re passionate, driven, and ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Come as you are, and together we’ll create something amazing.
