Mortgage Loan Officer (Full Time) - Dallas
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we can have:
- About the role (POSITION PURPOSE)
- Responsibilities (Essential Functions And Basic Duties)
- Qualifications (Education/Certification, Required Knowledge, Experience Required, Skills/Abilities)
- Schedule (Hours: Monday - Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm)
We should not repeat job title. Also we need to drop boilerplate: pre-employment credit check line, external/internal applicants, EEO, etc. Also drop "The above statements describe the general nature..." etc? That's part of responsibilities but maybe we keep as prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like production expectations, etc.
We need to format lists with - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we can list bullet points. For qualifications we can list bullet points.
We need to use
for prose.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
POSITION PURPOSE paragraph: "The responsibility of the Mortgage Loan Officer (MLO) is to source new mortgage loan business from leads generated inside and outside of the Bank. The MLO is to take loan applications, review the application and provide the applicant a list of documents necessary to support the information in the application, set realistic expectations about the mortgage loan process for the applicant(s) and provide regular updates to the applicant(s) and other interested parties. The MLO will discuss relevant mortgage related facts and issues with applicants concerning ability to repay, bank credit policy and documentation necessary to present to underwriting for credit decision. The MLO needs to be familiar with Bank credit policy and guidelines of the GSE’s, FHA and VA."
That's prose.
Essential Functions And Basic Duties: multiple paragraphs. We'll break into bullet list.
Let's list duties:
- The principal responsibility of the MLO is the origination of eligible mortgage loans. This requires focus on the marketing activities necessary to generate mortgage loan referral activity from Prosperity Banking Centers, realtors, home builders, financial planners, networking groups, trade associations and personal sphere of influence.
- MLOs have a minimum production expectation:
- Monthly: 5 units or $1.0 Million in eligible loan volume
- 90 day rolling average: 15 units or $3.0 Million in eligible loan volume
- The above represents the minimum expectation. If the MLO is provided a Prosperity Bank assignment, the MLO is to visit the Bank on a regular basis to build internal relationships, educate the Bank employees about the ways to introduce Bank customers to the mortgage department and look for opportunities to introduce non-bank mortgage customers to the variety of financial services offered by Prosperity Bank with a warm handoff to the Bank employees in the assigned Banking Center.
- The mortgage referrals received from the Bank should be an adjunct to their self-sourced business.
- Responsible for establishing and maintaining effective communication, coordination, and working relations with Bank personnel in the mortgage fulfilment area and with management.
- As an MLO, you are to present yourself in a professional manner, representing Prosperity Bank with the highest level of professional conduct and ethical behavior, while always looking after the safety of the customer’s personal information and the best interest of the Bank.
- The MLO is to meet with potential customers to understand their financial needs and present them with the best mortgage products to suit those needs.
- The MLO is to oversee the customer experience through the entire loan process, from origination and analysis to loan closing.
- The MLO is to stay informed of, and abide by, the lending standards and related legal requirements and always strictly adhere to all Bank policies, regulatory and legal requirements.
Also note: "Supervisory Responsibilities This role has no supervisory duties." Could be included as a note but not required; we can include as a bullet under Responsibilities maybe.
Qualifications:
Education/Certification: High school graduate or equivalent, advance degree preferred.
Required Knowledge:
- Knowledge of Bank consumer mortgage lending policies, procedures, and guidelines.
- Understanding of financial analysis and determination of credit worthiness.
- NMLS certified.
Experience Required: 3 to 5 years of prior mortgage banking experience, including a working knowledge of FNMA/FHLMC, FHA, VA.
Skills/Abilities:
- Excellent communication and public relations skills.
- Financial analytical skills.
- Solid interviewing skills.
- Able to use related computer applications and business machines.
Also there is a section "Talking PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THIS POSITION" etc. That's not in our heading list but could be part of Responsibilities or maybe we could add a section "Physical Requirements"? Not in allowed headings list but we could still use
for any heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. However we should prefer those headings. Physical activities could be part of Responsibilities or maybe we could add a section "Requirements"? But we have Qualifications. Physical requirements could be under Responsibilities as well.
We also have "WORKING CONDITIONS None No hazardous or significantly unpleasant conditions (such as in a typical office)." Could be omitted as not substantive? It's basically saying none. Might be considered filler; we could drop.
"Reasoning Ability ..." etc. Those are mental activities; could be part of Qualifications/Skills. But we already have Skills/Abilities. Could incorporate.
But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include those mental activities details somewhere. Could add a section "Requirements" maybe? But we have Qualifications. Could add a subsection under Qualifications for "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities". However the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could have a section "Requirements" that includes mental/physical abilities. But we already have Qualifications covering education, experience, skills. Might be overlapping.
Better to follow the examples: we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Schedule. That covers most. The mental/physical details could be placed under Qualifications as a list under "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities". But we already have Skills/Abilities list. Could add another list for "Physical and Mental Requirements". However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we incorporate those details into Qualifications as bullet points under "Knowledge/Skills/Abilities" and "Physical/Mental Requirements". But we need to keep all details.
Let's extract mental activities:
Reasoning Ability: Ability to deal with a variety of variables under only limited standardization. Able to interpret various instructions.
Mathematics Ability: Ability to compute interest, payments, profit and loss, financial ratios, percentage, cash flow, and debt service. Able to perform very simple algebra.
Language Ability: Ability to read a variety of books, magazines, instruction manuals, atlases, and encyclopedias. Ability to prepare memos, internal loan applications, reports, and essays using proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar. Ability to communicate distinctly with appropriate pauses and emphasis, correct pronunciation (or sign equivalent), and variation in word order using present, perfect, and future tenses.
Physical activities:
Talking PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THIS POSITION Especially where one must frequently convey detailed or important instructions or ideas accurately, loudly, or quickly.
Average Hearing Able to hear average or normal conversations and receive ordinary information.
Repetitive Motion Movements frequently and regularly required using the wrists, hands, and/or fingers.
Average Visual Abilities Average, ordinary, visual acuity necessary to prepare or inspect documents or products, or operate machinery.
Driving And Mobility This position is largely an outside sales position. As such, you will be expected to hold a valid driver license in your State, maintain required automobile insurance and abide by the standards for cell phone use as described in the employee handbook.
Physical Strength The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions: Ability to withstand moderate physical activity throughout the workday (standing, walking, reaching, driving). Ability to sit for extended periods of time. Ability to lift or move up to 25 pounds on occasion. Ability to maintain attention and concentration for extended periods of time.
WORKING CONDITIONS None No hazardous or significantly unpleasant conditions (such as in a typical office).
We need to include all that. Could be placed under a section "Requirements" (maybe separate from Qualifications). But we already have Qualifications for education/experience/skills. Could add a section "Requirements" for physical/mental. However the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. That seems okay.
Thus sections:
- About the role (POSITION PURPOSE)
- Responsibilities (Essential Functions And Basic Duties)
- Requirements (includes Knowledge, Physical/Mental Abilities, etc.)
- Qualifications (Education/Certification, Experience Required)
- Skills (maybe separate? but we have Skills/Abilities already; could be part of Qualifications. But we have a separate Skills heading in examples. Could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for abilities. But we already have Skills/Abilities list. Let's follow examples: we can have Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (abilities). However we also have Required Knowledge which could be under Qualifications or Skills. Let's decide:
We'll have:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Qualifications (Education/Certification, Required Knowledge, Experience Required)
- Skills (Skills/Abilities)
- Requirements (Physical and Mental Activities, Driving, etc.)
- Schedule (Hours)
But that's many sections; instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. But we have separate headings examples; but we can still combine.
Better to have:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Qualifications (includes education, knowledge, experience, skills/abilities)
- Requirements (physical/mental, driving, etc.)
- Schedule
That's 5 sections.
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to format lists.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll start with About the role
