Company Description
SimpLend Mortgage LLC is a company based in Trevose, PA, with a focus on simplifying the consumer's experience in obtaining a home loan. Our mission is to provide honest, respectful, and efficient service in an industry known for complexity and poor communication. We strive to make home lending as simple as possible.
At SimpLend we aren't order takers, we are financial professionals who pride ourselves in having real conversations with our clients about their needs. We treat our clients like people, not like numbers, and we look to build life-long relationships with our borrowers.
We are currently positioning the company for rapid growth as soon as rates take their turn. Unlike some other companies, who are "right-sizing", we are building the initial team that takes us to the next level. All roles currently hiring have rapid growth potential.

This role is perfect for someone starting out in the mortgage space, or a recent graduate who is looking to make their mark in the world of financial services. The LOA will assist SimpLend's first 1-3 Loan Officers, including SimpLend's President who actively originates. The LOA will be required to complete the steps necessary to become a licensed Loan Originator in their first months with the company.

Special Note
SimpLend is within its first six months of founding. As with any startup (especially one in an industry experiencing significant headwinds), the nature of the position comes with both unique risks and unique rewards.
The job duties above are likely to change to business needs as we grow the company. Change may be experienced rapidly. Additionally, the offered benefits of the company will be somewhat different than what an applicant may experience in a more established company.
However, the reward potential is also enhanced. As an example, SimpLend plans to build a highly competitive profit-sharing package with all employees once profitability is reached. Additionally, being an early applicant in a company with tremendous growth potential can catapult someone's career by decades.
It's important to us to be extremely transparent, both with our clients and with our employees, and we would be remiss if we didn't highlight the unique scenario.
