About The Position

Being a Loan officer at First Residential is unlike any other role. Think of it as combining the best of sales, customer service, and financial expertise. You’ll play a crucial part in helping borrowers navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives, buying a home. This isn’t just a desk job; it’s a high energy, high-impact position where your determination and hustle directly influence your success. 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. Your job? Turn those leads into success stories by building trust, analyzing their financial situation, and guiding them to the best loan option. The schedule is flexible but expect to put in the time and effort required to meet and exceed your goals. Most of the work happens in the office, where collaboration and teamwork create an environment of support and friendly competition. It’s demanding, but the rewards of seeing your hard work help someone secure their dream home are totally worth it.
