Company Description
Kinsfolk Mortgage LLC is a fast-growing mortgage brokerage focused on helping individuals and families achieve homeownership through strategic, fully structured financing.

• Clear communication with clients and real estate partners
Our goal is to create a seamless, stress-free process while delivering a level of certainty that helps our clients win in competitive markets.
Role Description
This is a full-time, remote role for a Front-End Processor / Loan Structuring / Pre-Approval Specialist.

• Communicating directly with clients to request and clarify documentation
• Preparing files for a smooth transition into underwriting once under contract
• Collaborating with Mortgage Advisors to ensure speed, accuracy, and a strong client experience
You will play a key role in ensuring our loans move through underwriting cleanly and close successfully.
Qualifications:
• 2+ years of experience in mortgage processing, loan structuring, LOA, or underwriting
• Strong proficiency in handling loan documents and full loan file review
• Experience with DU / LPA and understanding of underwriting guidelines
• Strong knowledge of:
• Income calculation (W2, self-employed, variable income)

• FHA, VA, and Conventional loan programs
• Ability to identify potential issues before underwriting
• Strong verbal and written communication skills (client-facing role)
• Highly detail-oriented with strong organizational skills
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment

Compensation
• Base Salary: $50,000 – $65,000 (based on experience)
• Performance-based bonuses tied to:
• Closed loans
• File quality
• Speed to approval
Top performers have the opportunity to earn $70,000 – $90,000+ total compensation.
