Summit Mortgage knows that a mortgage company is only as good as its loan officers. You are the one connecting with customers, providing expertise and doing whatever can be done to help people purchase or refinance their dream home.

We want to continue building our team of successful, customer-centric home loan officers. To achieve this, we’re working as hard as you do to separate ourselves from the crowd. The mortgage business is a competitive field that demands doing the expected, and then a little bit more. Here are the top five ways Summit Mortgage does more to attract the top home loan officers from across the United States.

 

  1. A National Team of Local Experts

Summit Mortgage is located in Plymouth, MN, but network of  home loan officers extends across the United States. We have loan officers licensed in 28 states to meet the needs of homebuyers and homeowners. We have always had a strong reputation in our local markets but now our reputation and market share are growing elsewhere, too.

Having colleagues in other states and markets can be beneficial for any  home loan officer working with customers who are looking to relocate to a new city or purchase a second home in another state. The ability to call upon the knowledge of trusted, local colleagues is an invaluable asset.

  1. An Established and Proven Company

While many other mortgage companies have come and gone in the industry during recent years, Summit Mortgage understands how to thrive and survive as the housing market ebbs and flows.

Founded as a family-owned business, Summit Mortgage has been guiding customers home ever since it’s inception in 1992 with a reliable, thoughtful and tailored approach to operational excellence that helps loan officers grow their businesses while ensuring that homeowners close on time.  We built our company on a foundation of integrity, service, and innovation and have continued to evolve over the last 30 years

  1. We Make It Easy for Loan Officers to Succeed

The number one job of a mortgage company is to make it easy for loan officers to handle their clients’ needs. Summit Mortgage does this by offering a comprehensive suite of resources and tools for loan officers that create a complete business operations package to help them amplify their business and thrive in any market.

Some of the Summit Mortgage in-house resources and tools for loan officers include:

  • Competitive Pricing
  • Wide Array of Broker and Correspondent Loans
  • Delegated and Non-Delegated Underwriting
  • Custom Marketing Design as well as Auto-Posting
  • Google Page Optimization
  • On Site Accounting and Payroll Department
  • Expense and Corporate Managed Pay Plans
  • Intuitive and User-Friendly Point of Sale (POS) for Customers and Realtor Partners through our Ascent App*.
  • IT Support Including Helpdesk and Internally-managed Loan Operating System (LOS)
  • Legal Counsel

*Unlike most mortgage apps, Ascent puts you (as the loan officer) at the center of the process connecting the human and digital experience in the click of a button.

  1. Leadership and Sales Support To Help You Grow

You’re good at what you do but are you currently getting the support you need to reach the next level? Here at Summit Mortgage we keep management layers thin but that doesn’t mean you miss out on the support you need. Most loan officers need to call upon someone for help with a loan or ideas to help them grow at one time or another. At Summit Mortgage, we plan for this by ensuring that loan officers have a clear and direct path to leadership and have operational support standing behind their transactions and sales support leading the charge in their growth.

Summit’s loan officer and customer centric model ensure that loan officers can minimize the time they spend on their loan from contract to close to ensure that they have the greatest opportunity to go out and build new business!

  1. Competitive Rates and More

At Summit Mortgage, we’ve made it our business to provide exceptional customer service while maintaining competitive rates and loan programs. The way we see it, why settle for one or the other when we can provide you with both?

When you give the customers a great customer experience coupled with competitive rates and deliver their closing on time, they will stick with you for future transactions!  Our goal is to deliver an exceptional experience to gain a customer for life. And that’s core to our business model.

Summit Mortgage is Committed to Helping You Amplify Your Career

To offer the best and become the best you need to have the right alliances. When you become part of the Summit Mortgage team of personal loan officers, you join an organization that’s proven to excel. We offer everything a loan officer like yourself needs to grow their business and increase customer satisfaction.

And if you think we’re missing something, we have something even more powerful than what’s listed: an open mind and a seat at the table with the leaders of the company.  We work to understand loan officers’ challenges and provide solutions that are smarter, more innovative and ultimately more effective.

If you are a loan officer who could use some additional support, is hoping to grow through the plateau you have reached or are interested in having a seat at the table of change, consider joining Summit Mortgage today.
