Remote Mortgage Loan Officer (Illinois) at Zillow

This role is ideal for experienced mortgage professionals with at least 3 years of purchase-focused origination experience. Zillow is looking for mid-level candidates who are already NMLS licensed (or have equivalent federal bank experience) and are physically based in Illinois. You should be equally comfortable with either high-volume, lead-driven phone sales or building consultative relationships with real estate agents. The position offers a unique "remote-with-restrictions" setup, providing the flexibility of working from home while benefiting from a massive lead ecosystem and industry-leading FinTech tools. While the base pay appears low ($11–$24/hr), it is supplemented by incentive compensation, making this a performance-driven role where your total earnings are tied to loan volume and funding success. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Already hold active NMLS licensing and have passed the SAFE exam. * Are located in Illinois and prefer a remote environment with high-tech CRM and LOS tools. * Have a proven track record of managing a high-volume purchase pipeline from application to closing. * Thrives in a metrics-driven culture with clearly defined KPIs and performance goals.
