As a remote loan officer, you work from home to help a client search for and secure lending opportunities, such as a home mortgage or car loan. In this remote role, you may use virtual document storage software to keep track of customers' paperwork submissions, verify the accuracy of submitted documents, and explain the lending institution's options to help a consumer make an informed decision about which loan to get. You provide personalized advice to help improve the chance a bank approves the application, including details on how the client can finance their repayment plan. Other duties include initiating the application process and collecting loan documents. You may specialize in residential, commercial, or even industrial loans.
