Frequently Asked Questions
We are not looking to simply increase the count of our sales force. We want to work with a select few loan officers who take their careers seriously and consider themselves entrepreneurs. Our culture and eco-system are designed to help you grow your business.
Arcus LOs know their guidelines and how to structure their loans. We expect our LOs to offer legendary customer service. They should also understand that the loan is closed with help from several team members and working as one team is the only way to get things done.
If you are a "high maintenance" loan officer and believe that you should be given exceptions all the time, we may not be the right fit for you.
Yes, we do require our LOs to close a minimum of 6 loans per quarter.
Our LOs choose their own comp plan. The max allowable comp is 3%. A comp plan can be changed every quarter.
All the LOs are paid W2. The only exception is if you have a California DRE license and do not plan to originate FHA loans. In that case, you may choose to be paid 1099.
If you are a W2 LO, your benefits include a 401k match and 50% of the insurance premium for health, vision, and dental insurance.
There is a $995 underwriting fee and a $495 processing fee, both of which can be charged to the borrower on LE/CD. The LO pays for their credit reports but can charge for the same either via the borrower's credit card or on LE/CD.
We are confident that you will find our pricing very aggressive whether you compare it with wholesale or retail lenders. If there is a mutual fit, we are happy to give you a test login to check out our pricing.
We underwrite most conforming, FHA, and VA loans in-house. We broker loans with sub-620 scores, manufactured homes, or Jumbo loans. We also work with multiple lenders who offer non-QM loans, downpayment assistance programs, and even construction loans. We can't think of any loan program that we do not offer either internally or through one of our preferred lenders.
Our point-of-sale (POS) is an app on iOS and Android app store, developed by SimpleNexus. Our LOS is Byte, and CRM is BNTouch. We use Optimal Blue for the pricing engine and have partnered up with Blueprint for accurate income calculations of all kinds of borrowers in minutes. The corporate pays for all the technology.
Yes, typically you are assigned one processor. However, sometimes to manage the workload fairly across processors, your loan may be assigned to another processor.
Unless you are joining under a Branch Manager, in most cases, you will be reporting directly to Shashank. This means that you will have direct access to him and can set up coaching sessions to get your questions answered and/or grow your business.
We are currently licensed in 22 states and waiting for approval in a few other states. The updated list can be found here
