Loan Specialist (Bilingual Dallas / Fort Worth) Department : Operations Team : Loan Specialist What Sets Us Apart : At UMortgage, we have a customer-centric, service-based approach.

We primarily focus on home purchases, providing an emphasis on consumer education, real estate agent relationships, and personalized experience for home buyers.

What We Need : UMortgage is on the hunt for outgoing, professional, and highly organized Loan Specialists to add to our Loan Operations team! The Loan Specialist role is a full-time, high-touch, pipeline and file management role.

While the Loan Officer (LO) role is defined by outbound sales activity and referral partner engagement, the Loan Specialist is designed for the process-focused, high-capacity loan technician.

Important distinction : Loan Specialists are not glorified LOAs. While some of the file-level responsibilities may resemble those of an LOA, the LS position overall carries more weight, responsibility, and ownership than that of an LOA.
