Is Mortgage Lending a Good Career?
Mortgage lending is a growing career path as more Americans are looking for innovative ways to fund their home ownership dreams. Here are some of the top reasons why mortgage careers can be highly satisfying:
- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, mortgage lending and loan officer careers are on the upswing, and will continue to grow in the coming decade. A growing field means that there’s plenty of stability and opportunity, including taking on new roles, developing new skills, and finding mentors to help you develop your career path.
- In addition to growth and stability, many home loan career professionals find their work fulfilling, as they help people accomplish their home ownership goals every day. Many home buyers, especially first-timers, may find navigating the process to be confusing and difficult. You’re there to make mortgages clear and understandable, and help them discover the form of funding that’s right for their situation.
- Mortgage lenders get paid very well—often over six figures after a few years of experience. Loan officer jobs can be a lot of hard work, but that hard work often pays off as you increase your professional development and move up in the lending world. Experienced professionals who have developed their skill sets can expect high incomes and job satisfaction.
- Remote work opportunities are plentiful. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more professionals are looking for remote work. Luckily, loan officer and loan processor jobs can more easily be made remote, meaning that work-from-home opportunities are steadily growing. Be sure to check in with our open listings to see if any remote work is available.
For those looking for well-paid, meaningful work with a bright future, mortgage lending is a great career path. Apply today to see how you can start building your mortgage career.
How Do I Start My Mortgage Lending Career?
Starting your mortgage lending career might seem like a major undertaking, but if you’re reading this, then you’re on the right track. Getting certified and started as a lending officer takes just a few steps, and might be easier than you think:
- Start with a personal assessment: Do you have the skills to become a loan officer? Being organized, detail-oriented, and people-centric are all important qualities that a loan officer should have.
- Education: Bachelor’s degrees aren’t a requirement for a loan officer career, but they can definitely help. If you don’t have a college degree and don’t want to enroll, don’t worry; you can also spend a few years working in banking or other financial institutions to gain experience.
- Licensure: Different states have their own licensing requirements for mortgage loan officers. Usually, this requires a few weeks of education or classes followed by a test to ensure that you know everything you need to know to be a loan officer. Find out more about state licensing here.
- Getting your first job: Once you’re licenced and ready to work, it’s just a matter of building your network, finding mentors, and securing that first paid position.
