Description

Looking for a Career — Not Just a Job?

We’re growing and looking for someone sharp, personable, and highly organized to join our mortgage team as a Loan Officer Assistant.

You do not need mortgage experience for this role. We can teach the industry. What we can’t teach is someone who naturally connects with people, thinks quickly, takes initiative, and genuinely cares about creating a great client experience.


If you’re the type of person who:

  • Picks things up fast
  • Communicates confidently
  • Loves helping people
  • Stays calm under pressure
  • Is naturally “with it.”
  • And wants a real opportunity to grow…


…this could be an incredible fit.

This is an entry-level position with hands-on mentorship and a clear growth path. The right person could advance into a higher-level role within 6 months.


We offer full benefits, including Vision, Dental, Medical, and 401(k), along with many others...

Hours are M-F from 8:30 am-5:30 pm in our Grayslake Office.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Communicating with leads, clients, and real estate agents
  • Helping manage the loan process from application to closing
  • Following up with prospective clients
  • Assisting with scheduling, updates, and client communication
  • Learning how top-producing mortgage teams operate
  • Delivering a high-level customer experience every step of the way

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

  • Excellent communication skills
  • Positive, professional energy
  • Quick thinker with strong intuition
  • Organized and detail-oriented
  • Comfortable talking on the phone
  • Tech-savvy and able to learn new systems quickly
  • Self-motivated and dependable
  • Someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of people

No Mortgage Experience? No Problem.

We’re willing to train the right person. This role is ideal for someone ambitious who wants to build a long-term career in the mortgage industry and learn directly from a successful team.

What We Offer

  • Hands-on training and mentorship
  • Real opportunity for advancement
  • Supportive, fast-paced environment
  • Team culture focused on growth and excellence
  • Competitive compensation with bonus opportunities

If you’re smart, driven, people-focused, and excited to grow into something bigger, we’d love to meet you.

Compensation

$50,000 - $60,000/year

About The Bryan Schmidt Group / Preferred Rate

We’re not the kind of mortgage company that looks for the easiest files — we’re the team people call when other lenders can’t get the job done.

We love helping clients who have been told “no” elsewhere and finding solutions that truly change lives. Whether it’s a first-time homebuyer, someone rebuilding financially, or a client with a complicated situation, we believe everyone deserves someone in their corner who genuinely cares and works hard for them.

Our team is built around problem-solving, relationships, and delivering an exceptional experience for every client and referral partner. We work hard, move fast, and take pride in helping people achieve goals they didn’t think were possible. We don’t do “volume at all costs.”

We do relationships, precision, and long-term referrals.

Every file represents a family making a life decision. We take that seriously — and we expect you to as well.

If you want a role where your work directly impacts closings, referrals, and growth — this is it.
