What You'll Do
The Loan Manager function consolidates the processing, disclosures, doc-drawing, and funding responsibilities into one. This is possible because our proprietary platform allows us to harness the system driven nature of these functions and allows for human intervention to be focused on external interfaces (with settlement agents etc.) and unique/one-off situations.
As Loan Manager, you will perform the end to end mortgage processing functions and govern a pipeline as HomeLight Home Loans scales to originating $100 million per month of Qualified Mortgages within a year.
Handle responsibilities in the HomeLight Home Loans back-office for up to 30 loans per month including processing with general underwriting knowledge, disclosures, closing, funding, and doc-drawing.
Execute the loan manager functions by supplementing the system with interventions, clearing flags, applying rules that system has not yet been trained to apply and interfacing over e-mail, phone, or messaging interfaces with the borrower, real estate professional, settlement agent, insurance providers or Home Loan's technology vendor-partners
Anticipate problems and focus on prevention. When bottlenecks or problems persist, identify software or process solutions that will prevent these from happening again and providing the feedback to team members to help create enhancements for system for prevention
Collaborate with the underwriter to support the process and pace of the loan flow through the pipeline
