What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mortgage Underwriter position at Tomo?
About Tomo
Tomo's mission is not just to make homebuying joyful, or to make homebuying easy, or to make homebuying fast. Tomo's mission is to advantage the homebuyer. Everyone else is in line ready to take their cut from a homebuyer - and all too often that cut is not deserved. We are by their side trying to give them a leg up, trying to give them information others don't have, give them advice others don't have, give them a lower cost that others don't have - all that they can use to achieve better outcomes than they'd be able to otherwise.
As a Mortgage Loan Underwriter, you will have the opportunity to join Tomo's growing mortgage operations team! Leveraging established underwriting guidelines, you will evaluate borrower financial and credit information along with property valuations to inform lending decisions. Our underwriters will collaborate closely with all members of the operations team throughout the process to bring loans to closing, without having to speak directly to the borrower. We are looking for resourceful Underwriters who can make guidelines fit the borrower, not the borrowers fit the guidelines.
Beyond producing high quality loans, our goal is to build a memorable experience that will ensure our customers enjoy the home buying process. With offices in Detroit, Seattle and Stamford, CT, we are quickly expanding in order to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience through a combination of technology and excellent service
