Loan Specialist at Veterans United Home Loans in Columbia, Missouri

Job Description:

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.



Daytime Loan Specialists typically work during normal business hours, with some need for evenings and weekends.



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.
  
  

Unlock your earning potential with a competitive base salary and attractive commission structure, offering potential earnings of $55,000 to $80,000 per year. That's just the beginning! Our top performers consistently exceed the upper limits of this range, thanks to performance incentives designed to reward your hard work and dedication. If you're driven to succeed and ready to go above and beyond, come join this dynamic team!



To sweeten the deal, we're offering a $500 sign-on bonus, an additional $500 upon passing your SAFE exam, and another $500 when you hit 6 months in the role.


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

  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.
