What is a mortgage closer and when would you wish to use one? The word “close” has two main definitions and many variations on each but, in many of today’s business methods it is more likely to refer to such as to “close the deal” rather than simply “please close the door”. In this business context, closing means to finish, wrap up the details and finalize the matter to the mutual satisfaction of all parties involved.
If it’s a simple deal where a salesman has something in his possession which he wishes to sell to a potential buyer then, after due negotiation, they reach agreement, the deal is closed and the seller hands over the goods to the buyer. However, many “closes” are of a more complex nature and involve more than just two parties – mortgages fall into this description.
To obtain a mortgage, a potential property buyer has to come under considerable scrutiny as to his abilities to meet his obligations under the loan agreement. In addition, the property that he intends to buy must also be assessed in terms of its real current and future value. Naturally, the seller’s right to offer the property for sale must also be investigated.
The processing of all these checks and balances will generate considerable paperwork; all of which has to be checked and double checked before the loan money can be released and the actual home purchase can be “closed”. The function of those engaged in Mortgage Closer Jobs, is to facilitate the actual closure of the loan granting and the resulting home purchase. It is the closer who draws up many of the necessary documents, obtains and reviews other documents, ensures that everything contains the correct signatures and endorsements and is in accordance with all legislative rules and regulations. Once this is done, the mortgage lender can confidently proceed to making the loan available to the borrower.
Mortgage closing is a specialized job and institutions needing to recruit closers must be very careful on who they take on. Often, they will avail themselves of Nationwide Staffing Services who maintain data bases on people currently engaged in such work and who may be tempted to change employer.
A Nationwide Staffing Agency will have both free lance and direct employee candidates on their list and can even provide staff sub-contracted from the agency.
