If so, how do you like it? There’s an open position near me for “Inside Sales/Mortgage Banker” and I’m considering applying.

...and that’s the most relevant Justin Guarini has been since 2001.

Raises hand.

It pays the bills. It’s very dependent upon your local economy and real estate market. I finance construction and rehab on residential and commercial properties in and around Seattle and Portland and I’m the busiest I’ve been in over 10 years.

So if you live and work in an area of constant growth that has been described by some as “recession-proof”, it’s probably a solid opportunity? Also, have you ever seen it combined and described as inside sales like that? That part makes me wonder what exactly the role entails.

I would say so, yes. Inside sales could mean a number of things. From cold calling, to working with brokers and agents to bring deals in the door or mining your portfolio for repeat clients.

It can be high stress and there is a TON of regulation and compliance but overall it’s a viable career path.

I’ve been in it since 2013. Different areas. Mostly servicing (payment processing, default reporting, etc.). I’m in vendor relations, now. As has been said, it pays the bills and bank hours are great.

Have a couple buddies that do/did it. Strongly depends on who you work for. Quicken is high pressure high pay. Several others are lower pressure lower pay.
