While a specific degree or background is not required, this role is highly competitive and intended for individuals with established experience. We place greater emphasis on self-motivated candidates with relevant expertise, specifically those with prior experience in sales and working in a pipeline.
About The Role:
Being a Loan officer at Paddio 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.
Here’s a snapshot of what you’d be doing:
- Calling leads to win over the client’s heart on why Paddio is the perfect lender for them!
- Running their credit through an online system and helping them find the right loan for their situation.
- Handling all the paperwork and keeping the borrower’s file on track until the loan is officially closed.
- Walking borrowers through the loan process and structuring loans for them, including setting up rates and fees that work best for their needs.
- Pitching in wherever needed to help foster a supportive and collaborative team culture.
About You:
- You demonstrate grit and resilience when navigating challenges, thriving in a fast-paced and agile environment.
- You’re a salesperson to your core—you’re not afraid to pick up the phone and you have experience seeking people out and selling to them.
- Flexibility is in your DNA; you readily embrace change and creatively identify solutions to complex problems.
- You're a master of time management and efficiently prioritize your responsibilities to maximize productivity and effectiveness.
- Driven by success, you welcome feedback and possess a high capacity for learning, leveraging knowledge to enhance performance and development.
- You excel in communication, both written and verbal, and use your skillset to provide top tier customer service to borrowers and teammates.
- Collaborative environments are where you thrive, and you maintain a positive attitude in high pressure situations to achieve common goals.
- You uphold the highest standard of honesty and transparency in all interactions, always doing what is best for all involved.
One important thing—you’d need to be NMLS licensed (but we can help you get that when you start).
