Mortgage closer and funder who ensures compliant loan packages and smooth closings.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Closer/Funder focused on making sure loan signing packages meet government guidelines and that closing and funding move on schedule. I coordinate closely with brokers and escrow officers, keeping everything organized and accurate from review through funding.
In my registration analyst roles, I reviewed submission packages for required documentation, prepared loan set up for processing, and handled COC’s (change of circumstance) with updates to notes on file. I also communicated with loan officers and processors to resolve documentation gaps, mavens fails, and other issues.
Beyond mortgage operations, I’ve built strong people and process skills through childcare leadership and administrative support—managing fast-paced classrooms and later handling mail, data entry, scanning, and office needs. I bring self-motivation, adaptability across team and remote settings, and a strong desire to learn and grow with a company.
