Stateside Lending LLC Loan Officer Troy, MI · Gowen, MI · Acworth, GA · Full time

We're seeking a driven, relationship-focused Loan Officer to join our growing team. You'll own the front end of the mortgage process — connecting with clients, understanding their goals, structuring the right loan, and guiding them from the first conversation through application. From there, our internal processing team carries the file to closing and funding, so your energy stays where it matters most: advising borrowers and building your pipeline. We do right by the borrower, every time. The ideal candidate pairs strong product knowledge with genuine integrity — someone who's motivated by helping people, not just closing files — and who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative, customer-first environment.

About Stateside Lending LLC

Stateside Lending is a growing mortgage brokerage built on a simple idea: borrowers deserve a smarter, more personal lending experience, and the people who deliver it deserve the tools and support to do their best work. We're not a legacy shop weighed down by old systems — we're actively building modern processes, technology, and a collaborative culture from the ground up. Here's what that means for you: Processors handle the heavy lifting. Our internal processing team takes the file from application to funding, so you can focus on what you do best — originating, advising, and growing your book. A plethora of lenders at your fingertips. Broad wholesale access means you're not forced to fit every borrower into one box. Conventional, government, jumbo, non-QM — you've got options, and the right one for almost every client. We say yes to the deals others can't. Unique properties, commercial deals, and scenarios that make retail lenders flinch? That's where we shine. You'll have the lender relationships to compete for business other LOs have to turn away. Team success over solo grind. We win together. You'll have real support, real mentorship, and a culture that's invested in your numbers — because your success is the company's success.
