  • Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of customer interactions and sales activities using our CRM system

  • Staying updated on industry trends, product knowledge, and competitor offerings to effectively position the Kin Mortgage offering division

  • Strong understanding of client service and exhibit a passion for helping people

Bonus Points

  • Experience prospecting and forming relationships with real estate agents, loan officers, and referral partners to generate consistent loan volume.
