Loan processor Jobs in Charlotte, NC

Mortgage Processor

NACA makes the dream of affordable homeownership a reality for many who have been subject to systemic racism and other factors. This includes access to NACA's Best Mortgage in America and a streamlined mortgage process. NACA works with Members (i.e., homebuyers) from the initial educational workshop, individual counseling, purchase process, and mortgage process.

The Mortgage Processor is the primary point of contact and is responsible for managing the loan from loan submission through (NACA Counselor is the point of contact from initial counseling to loan submission). The Mortgage Processor is assigned Members they are responsible during the mortgage process through closing. The NACA standard is to close loans within 22 days from the executed Purchase & Sales Contract. Extended time would be needed for delayed seller repairs or a Rehab Escrow.

Virtually every loan submitted to the lender should be closed with virtually no denials. This is because Members come to the Mortgage Processor after they have been working NACA for a significant period of time and have been NACA Qualified and Credit Access Approved with full documentation underwriting.

The Mortgage Processor is responsible for ensuring that the timelines and turn times are met. S/he directly communicates with the Member and addresses any lender conditions. This includes working with the lender, Settlement Agent, R.E. Agent, NACA Counselor, HAND, and others to ensure the timely resolution of conditions and adherence to closing timelines. These are the final steps in the Member's homeownership journey consisting of Members loan approval, funds for closing, scheduling the closing, closing, and post-closing processing. To accomplish this, the Mortgage Processor is responsible for the below major items and additional responsibilities.

Closing Disclosure

Responsible for ensuring that the Settlement Agent and lender collaborate in a timely manner so the lender can prepare and upload the Final Closing Disclosure (CD) (i.e., final mortgage terms and costs).

Schedule Closings

Responsible for the closing process. Closings may be scheduled for a date sooner than the contracted closing date if the buyer and seller agree. The Settlement Agent contacts all the parties and coordinates the time of the closing at the NACA office. Closing at the NACA office ensures that the Member has the support necessary to address any loan terms or issues that are different than discussed at Credit Access or previously understood. The Mortgage Processor does the following.

• Prior to scheduling a closing, check the date the Initial Closing Disclosure went out to determine the earliest possible close date. When the Initial Closing Disclosure is early acknowledged (i.e., signed by the Member), the closing can be scheduled the next business day after the three-business day disclosure period. If it is not early acknowledged, three business days for delivery must be added (i.e., the business day after six business days from the date issued).
• Address late conditions after CD is issued. Typically involve title or property issues. Confirm there is an approved Final CD when the closing has been scheduled. If not, contact the lender and Settlement Agent to help resolve any outstanding issues so the lender can send out the Final CD to maintain the closing date.
• If the loan is not going to proceed with the scheduled closing date, ensure that the Members have been advised of the status and takes all steps to resolve any outstanding issues.
• Monitors communications from the lender for files have cleared to close and for files without a scheduled close date. Also monitors to solve any issues the Settlement Agent, lender or Member may bring to their attention.

When overtime is owed, it will be computed by dividing the weekly salary by the number of hours worked that week, to determine the "Regular Rate" for the week.
