Loan Officer Assistant (Boise, ID area)

LICENSED LOAN OFFICER ASSISTANTJoin a high-producing mortgage team where expertise, ownership, and teamwork matter.
We’re looking for an experienced mortgage professional to join a fast-paced, high-producing team. An active NMLS license is preferred; however, we are open to considering a strong candidate who is not currently licensed and helping the right person obtain the required licensing.
This is more than a position focused on collecting documents and moving files through the system. We’re looking for someone who really understands mortgage lending, enjoys solving problems, and takes ownership of getting loans positioned for success.
Our ideal candidate is a guideline expert—the person others naturally turn to when a file is complicated or the obvious answer may not be the right one. You understand Conventional, FHA, VA, and other common lending guidelines, know how to research what you don’t know, and enjoy finding solutions within the guidelines.
Just as importantly, we’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being part of a team. We communicate constantly, jump in to help one another, and celebrate our wins together. Collaboration, accountability, and team chemistry are extremely important to us.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You may be a great fit if you:
Have significant mortgage lending experience and a strong understanding of agency and investor guidelines.
Hold an active Mortgage Loan Originator license through NMLS, or are willing and able to obtain the required licensing. For a strong overall candidate, we are willing to provide support through the licensing process.
Enjoy digging into guidelines and researching solutions rather than immediately concluding that a loan cannot be done.
Have strong income-calculation skills, including experience with self-employed, variable, and nontraditional income.
Understand AUS findings and the underlying guidelines behind them.
Are comfortable reviewing borrower income, assets, credit, liabilities, and qualifying ratios.
Are naturally curious and resourceful. When you don’t know an answer, your instinct is to research it and find it.
Are highly detail-oriented and understand that small issues on the front end can create significant problems later in the loan process.
Take ownership and anticipate next steps without needing to be continually directed.
Can effectively manage multiple borrowers, priorities, follow-ups, and deadlines at the same time.
Communicate proactively and understand that responsiveness is critical to providing an exceptional experience for clients and referral partners.
Recognize potential problems early and bring both the issue and possible solutions to the team.
Enjoy collaborating and believe successful teams operate with a “we” mentality rather than a “that’s not my job” mentality.
Thrive in a high-volume environment where expectations are high and there are significant opportunities to learn and grow.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
This position plays an important role on the front end of the mortgage process—from new lead through pre-approval and contract.
Key responsibilities include:
Review mortgage applications and supporting documentation for accuracy and completeness.
