Start or continue your career with a stable, local mortgage bank.

Lyons Mortgage Services, Inc. is a retail lender, Fannie Mae seller/servicer, FHA approved institution, and portfolio investor which has been in business for over a decade. Lyons has built its business on sound, consistent risk management lending strategies – strategies that have fueled our growth and financial stability for the past decade. Lyons’ business decision to stay completely away from the sub-prime market has put the company in a strong position to move forward in current market conditions.

Lyons is also a great place to build a career. The cooperative environment makes it an enjoyable place to spend your work days and the open-door policy allows you to learn from executives who have over 70 years of combined experience in the mortgage industry. High employee satisfaction at Lyons is demonstrated by the fact that the average employee has been with the company for over seven years.

Lyons is looking for driven outside-sales loan officers to build relationships within local communities and create sales from those relationships.  We refer to our loan officers as Business Development Managers.  This is not a role where you will be cold-calling from a list of leads. You will, however, be networking, attending community events, proactively reaching out to sources who can give you referrals, creating marketing plans, and finding other creative ways of acquiring clients. Experience is not required.

You should possess:

• The confidence and self-motivation to make contacts with potential strategic partners and borrowers.

• An aggressive, tenacious approach to sales, but with a firm ethical foundation.

• A strong work ethic and the willingness to put in the effort to satisfy borrowers and partners.

• The flexibility and adaptability to work in a dynamic industry which affords tremendous opportunity for a direct lender and servicer such as Lyons.

• A desire to succeed, learn and grow as a sales professional.

You may have an advantage if you also have:

• A network of contacts in your community that will provide a source of referrals

• A successful track record in sales or account management regardless of industry

Perks:

• Aggressive commission, base, bonus eligibility, health insurance and profit sharing plan.

• A full range of residential, mixed-used and commercial loan programs, including portfolio products (no income available) that will enable you to satisfy virtually any type of borrower.

• In-house underwriting and a quick loan process so that you do not miss out on opportunities. Because we approve, close and fund loans internally, you do not need to wait for third parties to clear deals.

• Security of working for an established company.

• Opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a growing department.

• A company committed to a team approach in sales support.

• Marketing strategies focused on building and strengthening relationships, and generating referrals.

• Servicing that keeps the Lyons brand in front of your clients each month, which encourages referrals and return clients. 

• Internal coordination of all parties in the loan process including attorneys, title companies and appraisers.

• Innovative technology including an internet based loan pricing/pipeline system and our flagship e247advisor.com.

• Offices in Long Island City (Astoria), Queens and in Ridgefield, New Jersey.
