LOAN ORIGINATOR
About The Position
ZABE Mortgage Group, a division of Golden Empire Mortgage (GEM), is not your typical mortgage company. We’ve spent over 25 years helping Loan Originators grow, stay consistent, and scale with purpose. GEM has been a respected name in the mortgage industry for nearly 30 years, rooted in the belief that all consumers deserve access to credit—and that our clients are our business. We’re not here to micromanage. We’re here to support you with real tools, mentorship, and systems that drive results. If you’re closing 1–2 loans a month and feeling stuck, it’s probably not your effort—it’s your support system. Some companies hand you a login and call it “support.” We call that babysitting. We build brands, offer mentorship, and move files forward with purpose. What You’ll Get at ZABE ✅ Proven systems and structure that remove guesswork and boost efficiency ✅ Full-time Loan Originator Assistant and processing team to keep files moving ✅ Smart CRM and lead system — no cold calling or chasing ✅ Daily mentorship from a Sales Manager who closes 300+ loans annually ✅ Personal brand support and a full marketing strategy tailored to you ✅ In-house underwriting, disclosures, and funding — no bottlenecks ✅ A collaborative, high-performance team culture that’s always leveling up
