LOAN
OFFICERS
At Cherry Creek we
are looking for team members who possess the following attributes.
INTERESTED?
Please read on for a full description of the type of person we are
looking for.
Cherry Creek is looking for positive, social, motivated, energetic,
creative and detail-oriented people who are
either:
1) Experienced loan officers closing a minimum of $1 million a month.
(If you fit this description, please skip
the following section and click
here..)
2) A loan officer just beginning his/her career.
3) A loan processor who wants to advance his/her career, click
here.
4) A loan officer candidate - a person who believes he/she fits
the profile outlined below.
A) A loan officer just beginning his/her career who has not yet
found their niche or who has not been receiving
adequate support to make his/her career
blossom. Many new loan officers flounder and often leave the
business not because they don't have the
skills and tenacity to become successful, but rather due to the
fact that they've received insufficient
training, little or no marketing support or a combination of these
two factors.
B) An individual interested in a career as a loan officer.
If you are a motivated person who is struggling as a new loan officer
or are just interested in becoming successful faster, call Tom Wardrope
today at (800) 325-2062 x 1125 for a confidential interview.

here to see Cherry Creek's Exclusive 5 Step Pathway to Success:
What a loan officer does:
Builds relationships with real estate agents and/or builders who
refer leads or actual loans to the loan
officer. To do this successfully, the loan
officer must possess the discipline and willingness to cold call
and prospect. Outside sales and relationship-building
skills are the key to success.
Prequalifies prospects, follows up on leads, takes loan applications
and assists borrowers in determining which loan
program best suits both their short-term and long-term financial
goals.
A typical day (when a loan officer is producing 3 to 5 loans a month)
might look something like this:
8:00 AM to 10:00 AM: In office doing loan
set-up, following up on files, and returning phone calls.
10:00 AM to 3:00 PM: Prospecting by calling on
real estate offices or interviewing REALTORS or builders.
3:00 PM to 5:00 PM: In office doing paperwork,
planning the next day, fielding phone calls or prequalifying buyers.
5:00 PM to 8:00 PM: Taking loan applications or
prequalifying buyers.
YES - It is a 10 to 12 hour-a-day career and you do have to work
evenings. However, you set your schedule, and, if you know how to
work smarter, not harder, you can often reduce the hours significantly.
What Characteristics Must a Good Loan Officer
Have?
Self-disciplined
Proactive
Drive to succeed
Powerful work ethic
Passion for excellence and customer service
Strong interpersonal skills
Ability to follow through
Desire to build relationships and people-oriented
Ability and willingness to work on commission
A lack of two or more of these characteristics may seriously hinder
a person's likelihood of success in the
mortgage business.
What Careers Lend Themselves to a Successful
Change to Mortgage Lending?
Any type of sales where a person has excelled. Average success in
one type of sales usually translates to
mediocre performance or worse in mortgage
lending.
Teaching and/or social services.
Loan processing or underwriting. Some of our best loan officers
are former loan processors.
Title representatives or escrow officers.
Financial service positions.
A superstar from any industry.
What Career-Building Advantages Does Cherry
Creek Offer You?
A great hands-on technical training program. We take you from A
to Z in the world of mortgages and test you so you
will be well-prepared when you go into the field.
Another big plus to our training is that you can learn while you
are still employed at your current job. We have developed
a special correspondence program to help you do this successfully.
Complete marketing training on how to approach business sources
like real estate agents and builders. We
give you the scripts and the strategies
that top-producing loan officers around the country use to build
long-lasting relationships with these prospects.
Scripts, dialogues and marketing materials for consumers that give
you the best opportunity to get their business.
On-going technical and marketing training to ensure your success.
We do not abandon our new loan officers by simply
handing them a rate sheet and saying, "Go get 'em!" as
so many lenders do.
Competitive commission splits.
Leads, leads, leads to help you get started. This is also great
practice in converting the training into a real life situation.
A real estate license is NOT required to start. However, you will
be expected to obtain one within 9 months of starting
with Cherry Creek.
If you are interested in exploring a career in mortgage lending,
call Tom Wardrope today at
(800) 325-2062 x 1125.
If he doesn't think you are suited for the business, he'll be honest
and tell you. Mortgage lending requires a big commitment of time
and resources for both you and the company.
Cherry Creek wants to hire only outstanding, dedicated individuals
because only they will survive the test of time in the mortgage
industry. But if our profile fits you, there's no business that
offers as many rewards.
