So you think you'd like to work for a company like ours!?! Are you independent minded? Entrepreneurial?
Do you see red when you read this and think of your current employer?
(Color blindness
is not a disqualifying factor!)
HomeFirst Mortgage Corp. is an independently owned and operated mortgage brokerage headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia. The President and CEO is an active loan originator with over 25 years of experience. As a result, our system of compensation and procedures reflects a heavy bias toward our origination staff.
HomeFirst Mortgage is currently is licensed
and/or qualified to conduct business in
California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida,
Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, South
Carolina and Virginia.
HomeFirst is approved as an originator by
over 40 major wholesale lenders, including:
NYCB, Flagstar, Frankin American, Quicken Loans,
Stonegate Mortgage, Century Lending, plus many more.
We are approved to originate
Conventional, FHA, FHA 203k, VA, USDA, Construction
and Reverse Mortgages. HomeFirst also holds a
Warehouse Line of Credit. Our Lending Division
can currently close loans in D.C., Maryland, North
Carolina and Virginia with various Correspondent
Lenders.
HomeFirst Mortgage's LOS platform
is Ellie Mae's Encompass 360. All new loan officers
will receive basic training on Encompass. In
addition, we will provide all of the other software
programs necessary to fully process your loans from
your own computer.
Our internal website (a.k.a. Intranet) is a very
helpful tool in fostering greater
communication among colleagues and serving as a
clearing house for ideas regarding programs and
origination procedures as well as marketing methods
and sales techniques. This website allows our loan
officers to download and print lock-in sheets, fee
sheets, contact numbers, hyperlink to lender
websites and just about anything else you might need
to gather information and lock-in your loans in a
timely fashion.
While HomeFirst licensed branches operate
autonomously, each loan officer (branch office) will
have the benefit of the headquarters staff's years
of experience. We will work with you to get required
branch licenses (you will be
expected to pay the licensing fee if you elect to
work out of your home), we will intercede on your
behalf, when necessary, with our lender contacts and
we will provide a stable environment full of
experienced and successful originators.
As seasoned originators, it is expected that you
will require a minimum amount of training in
origination techniques and product
knowledge. As a result, HomeFirst Mortgage provides
a very attractive commission split geared toward the
entrepreneurial in spirit. To encourage recruitment
of equally qualified originators, we offer an
override on commissions earned and paid to anyone
recruited to the Company through your own efforts.
Furthermore, we have three aggressive commission
tiers implemented to structure pricing and locking
with our lenders.
As noted, we are looking for experienced loan
officers and processors who look to become loan
officers. If you have been searching for an
opportunity where you can work as though
you were self-employed without the headaches of
management, HomeFirst Mortgage could be the right
fit for you. We have some of the
highest commission splits in the industry. What
that means to you is a simplified,
profitable process of determining how you price and
where you place a loan. We have no overages and,
most important of all, no underages.
Finally, we are interested only in people
committed to conducting
business in a manner consistent with the principles
established at the founding of the Company. Our
policy is very simple, we will not tolerate
questionable business methods and will terminate
immediately anyone found to have committed fraud in
any loan file under their responsibility.
Furthermore, it is our stated policy, upon findings
of fraud, to refer said evidence to the proper
authorities for further action. We are known for our
high quality standards. We hope that may be
attractive to you, too.
