About MobileHomeLoans.com
MobileHomeLoans.com specializes in financing manufactured and mobile homes, including homes located in manufactured-home communities and homes involving land. We work with established manufactured-housing lenders and industry partners to help qualified borrowers navigate specialized financing options.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced manufactured-housing lending professional to build new business relationships and lead a growing team of loan officers. This is a hands-on sales and production role for someone who understands both park-based chattel lending and manufactured-home financing involving land. The manager will develop dealer, community and referral relationships; recruit and train loan officers; and turn new opportunities into consistent funded-loan volume.
What You Will Do
· Develop new business. Build productive relationships with manufactured-home dealers and retailers, community operators, real estate professionals, builders, developers and other approved referral sources.
· Generate funded volume. Create and execute a territory plan, conduct regular prospecting and field visits, present MHL's lending capabilities, and convert new accounts into applications, approvals, closings and repeat production.
· Recruit and lead loan officers. Identify, interview, onboard, train, coach and manage properly licensed loan officers assigned to the new relationships and territories you develop.
· Manage lender execution. Ensure the team follows the submission, documentation, communication and processing requirements of 21st Mortgage, Triad Financial Services and other approved MHL lenders.
· Maintain a disciplined pipeline. Document prospects, referral relationships, leads, applications and follow-up in the company Google Sheet or any future CRM system designated by MHL; maintain accurate forecasts and provide a concise weekly production report.
· Protect service and compliance. Coordinate outreach with leadership, protect existing relationships and confidential information, and ensure the team operates within lender, company, licensing and compliance requirements.
Required Experience and Qualifications
· An active NMLS license in good standing is required and must be maintained throughout employment.
· At least two years of direct experience with mobile-home loans for homes located in manufactured-home parks, including chattel-loan transactions.
· At least two years of direct experience with manufactured-home loans involving land, including land-home or real-property transactions.
· Demonstrated success in manufactured housing, mortgage lending, consumer finance, dealer development or closely related relationship-driven sales.
· Experience recruiting, training, coaching and holding a geographically dispersed sales team accountable.
· Strong communication, organization, follow-through, pipeline-management and relationship-development skills.
· Comfort using Google Sheets and CRM, communication and reporting systems.
· Ability and willingness to travel regularly throughout assigned markets.
· Any additional license required for the activities performed; you must remain within approved licensing and compliance boundaries at all times.
Performance Expectations
· Build toward at least $1 million in new monthly funded volume, with the ability to scale production toward $3 million to $5 million per month as the relationship base and loan-officer team mature.
· Create measurable growth in active referral accounts, applications, approvals, funded loans and gross lender-paid commission.
· Within the first 90 days, complete lender and systems onboarding, submit a territory and recruiting plan, establish qualified new opportunities, begin building the assigned loan-officer team and provide a supported production forecast.
Compensation
· $60,000 annual starting base salary ($5,000 per month).
· 10% of eligible gross lender-paid commissions received by MHL from qualifying new business relationships personally developed by the manager and eligible production generated through the assigned loan-officer team.
· Commission is earned only after the loan closes, funds, MHL receives the lender commission, and attribution requirements are satisfied.
· Existing MHL accounts, house business and pre-existing production are excluded unless specifically assigned in writing. Final eligibility, attribution and chargeback terms are governed by the executed compensation agreement.
How to Apply
Please submit your resume and a short summary describing your manufactured-home lending experience, including your work with park-based chattel loans, land-home or real-property loans, dealer or referral development, and loan-officer team leadership.
