You are not wrong to be feeling how you feel. I believe you need a local manager, a local branch and local support to get the lift needed to launch your MLO career. In this market, you will be forced to get out there and network like crazy. The opportunity you desire will not be posted on a company web-site or career web-site. You need to attend industry functions, cold call local mortgage branches, network within your network, reach out to the local real estate experts etc. in order to find the opportunity you seek. Look at companies like CrossCountry, NEO, Guild, Fairway, CMG, Movement, Cardinal, New American, Churchhill etc. Best of luck!
