Launch Your Mortgage Career — Origination or Operations, Your Path Starts Here

Whether you're aiming to become a top-producing mortgage loan officer or a behind-the-scenes operations expert, Red Oak Mortgage is the place to start.

We’re looking for a smart, motivated, and dependable individual to join our busy team in Freehold, NJ. You’ll support our origination team as a Loan Officer Assistant (LOA) while gaining exposure to the full mortgage process—from application through clear-to-close. Based on your strengths and career interests, you’ll have the opportunity to grow into either mortgage sales or operations (processing, underwriting, or compliance).

We’ll train the right person, and while 1–5 years of mortgage experience is preferred, we’re also open to recent graduates or career changers with strong communication skills, a sharp eye for detail, and a desire to learn the business.

What You’ll Do

  • Support Loan Officers with client communication, loan applications, and document collection

  • Track loan files from start to finish, identifying and resolving potential issues

  • Help pre-qualify borrowers by gathering and organizing financial documentation

  • Review credit, income, asset, and collateral docs to ensure file completeness

  • Communicate proactively with borrowers, realtors, attorneys, and title partners

  • Engage with third-party vendors to obtain supporting documentation

  • Maintain and update CRM and LOS systems to ensure an accurate and consistent borrower experience

  • Set and manage expectations with clients and partners throughout the loan process

  • Collaborate with processing and closing teams to ensure smooth and timely closings

Qualifications

  • 1–5 years of mortgage experience preferred, but not required

  • Recent grads encouraged to apply—if you’re organized, driven, and a fast learner, we’ll teach you the rest

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and thrive in a fast-paced environment

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to retain and apply new information quickly

  • Tech-savvy and comfortable with learning new platforms and systems

  • Familiarity with Google Workspace , Microsoft Office , and CRM tools is helpful

  • Experience with Encompass, Floify, PipeDrive, or Mailchimp is a plus—but not required

Why Red Oak Mortgage?

  • Celebrating 20 years as an independent, fast-paced mortgage lender with a stellar reputation

  • Supportive, no-drama team culture that values responsiveness, humor, and hustle

  • Opportunity to grow into origination or operations—your career path is flexible

  • Early exposure to new technology like Floify , launching this month

  • Direct access to experienced leadership and ongoing mentorship

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary, commensurate with experience

  • Bonuses and commission potential (once licensed)

  • Health and dental insurance

  • 401(k) with matching and immediate vesting

  • Paid time off

  • In-office role at our Freehold, NJ headquarters
