| Never heard that title. I thought everyone with 3 months experience gets to call themselves "Senior Loan Officer" in this business. |

The same as that of a senior LO. Titles are meaningless. At the end of the day, if you originate loans, you are an originator. If you process apps, you are a processor. If you fall in between these two jobs, pick one and become great at it. In the meantime, you can call yourself whatever you want.

A Jr. LO usually is for bring in deals. Some put them on the phone for TMing. Othere send them out on the streets to drum up business.
Once there is an interested client, the Senior LO takes over.
Mostlly the Jr LO is there to make the sr lo $$$...and if the SR LO is a straight up guy, the Jr will learn something too and become a regular LO one day. |

Lets not get testy, if you ask a stupid question you should get ready for a sarcastic or stupid remark.
CoolMtgGuy gave you the response you should be looking for.
Call him what you want, but when it boils down to it if you originate then you are an originator. Senior, Junior, Gofer or idiot (for being an assistant when he can be an originator) what ever |

I wish we wouldn't get so caught up in titles...We are all just sales people. That's it, so call them whatever you want on their business cards, just make sure they know they are sales people. |

Many arguments start because of an ambiguity in the meaning of words. In this case, "junior loan officer."
What do you mean by that title? Is it an unlicensed individual? Is it a licensed individual who just joined the industry?
If it's someone who is unlicensed, they are not able to quote rates, programs, or otherwise act or perform the duties of a consultant. At best, they are able to help you with the paperworks and make some calls on your behalf. In some states they are able to telemarket, but must be careful not to quote rates or start acting like a consultant.

A Junior LO if you were to compare is the Account Manager for the Account Executive at the bank. He coordinates and tries to smooth out the back end of the deals so the the Senior LO can originate more deals. As they are handling the deals they are to learn the process and the guidelines and keep in touch with the clients, eventually this Junior LO will be a Senior LO (whatever that means).
What alot of Originators and firms do is give you a title of Junior LO when all they really want you to do is cold call, fax, copy, blah blah. In essence make you a TM plus Admin. Hope that answers your question. |

With all due respect, you're a salesperson. People who sell any product are sales people, period. You don't see car salesmen/women calling themselves auto and driving specialist or Car agents. They're sales people, just like you and me. |

What does a job title mean anyway? How would it be more benficial to call your assiatant a Junior Loan Officer?
Jokes aside the company I started in with had JLO's, they were nothing more than telemarketers who were trying to learn the ropes in order to sell loans on their own, that was the good ol days when no licensing was needed. |

To me, a Jr loan Officer is basically a Newbee ( less than 1 yr in business & unable to self source enough of their own business to earn a living ) who acts as an assistant to a mentoring & experienced LO or manager.
I prefer to bring in this type of person, & we offer a small base salary & hands on training in exchange for assisting us with some of our busy work, & marketing. We may also pay a small flat fee per loan worked on or % of the deal, depending on the situation. Anything the junior person can self source pays them more.
My Junior LO's will follow up on leads we generate, pull credit, load application info into LOS, do some processing & stip chasing, & learn to work with our agents, while developing their own referral contacts & training.
A good assistant LO or Junior LO will learn good habits, & eventually be able to generate their own business, thereby creating a need for a replacement.
Hope this helps. |

And the week after, heis running for public office.
Seriously, titles are a joke. I stopped using the VP title years ago when they started handing them out like candy. It's funny to hear someone explain why they have the title - even funnier to try to keep a straight face listening to it. "Senior" makes me think I need AARP next to my name. I agree, in the end, we are there to sell a product. Like any other business, we get repeat and referral business because we do a good job.
Jr. Loan Officers can cost you more money than making you money, sales assistants free you up from admin duties so you can focus on marketing. In the past, I have started the trainee as a sales assistant first - understanding the 1003 and the documentation required (basic, not processing). If they are good (they can spot bad copy jobs right off, notices missing pages), move them up to the Jr. LO phase, taking a clean 1003, then turning the interview over to you for review. I can never remember a customer getting upset by aiding in training, as long as it's known you are close at hand and will be reviewing the work. By the time they are ready to do GFEs and turn in 1003s, they are ready to become a full fledged LO, still under your wings.
As for pay, all I am going to say is you get what you pay for....occassionally, you will find someone, a gem for low pay, but more often not. |
