Edge Home Finance Is Hiring Loan Officers

Table of Contents

Key Takeaways

Edge Home Finance offers a 100% commission model that lets you keep your entire commission while providing access to over 150 lenders and a wide range of programs. As a true broker with preferred pricing from many lenders, Edge combines competitive rates with full back-end support, flexible work arrangements, and a positive, collaborative community. If you have an active NMLS license and at least minimal production (for example, one closed loan per month), you could be a great fit. I host private webinars to walk interested loan officers through the details—reach out if you want to learn more.

If you're a loan officer who’s tired of corporate gatekeeping, micromanagement, or splitting commissions with companies that give you little in return, read on. I created a short video to explain why joining Edge Home Finance could be one of the smartest moves for your career. Below I’ll break down everything I covered, expand on the details, and answer the questions you’re likely asking right now.

Why commission structure matters: keep what you earn

The headline benefit at Edge is simple and powerful: a 100% commission model. That means you keep the full commission on the loans you close. For many loan officers, that one change can be the difference between scraping by and building real wealth through your mortgage business.

Think about it this way: if you close multiple loans per month, even modest production produces significantly more income when you retain 100% of your commission. That extra revenue lets you reinvest in marketing, hire support, or expand into new states. It also rewards you directly for the effort you put into growing your pipeline.

True broker relationships, with preferred pricing

A lot of companies call themselves brokers but act like retail shops with broker titles. At Edge, we operate as true brokers. That means:

  • We shop the loan across a broad lender panel (over 150 lenders).
  • We don't force preferred lenders on you—your client’s best interest comes first.
  • Because we are a large broker, we do secure preferred pricing from many of our lenders, so you often get rates that beat retail competitors.

If you want to compare rate sheets, I encourage transparency—send me your price sheets and we’ll compare. I’ve personally seen Edge outprice retail lenders consistently.

Back-end support that actually helps you build your business

One reason many loan officers move firms is support—or lack of it. At Edge, you gain real back-end infrastructure so you can focus on growing your business rather than wrestling with compliance, HR issues, or processing gaps.

  • Dedicated support teams help ensure compliance is solid and your documentation is correct.
  • Human Resources and operational staff take care of the administrative burden so you can sell more loans.
  • Full backend means fewer headaches and faster turn times for your borrowers.

Freedom and flexibility: build your business your way

Edge gives you the freedom to design the work life you want. You decide whether to:

  • Keep a traditional office.
  • Work remotely from home.
  • Produce loans across multiple states.

It’s your business, and you call the shots. If you prefer to scale with a team, recruit loan officers, or focus strictly on retail origination, Edge supports those paths.

Wide licensing footprint—and simple expansion

At the time I joined, Edge was licensed in 47 states and moving toward full national coverage. That’s a huge advantage if you’re looking to grow beyond your current footprint.

If you’re already licensed in several states, adding new states is straightforward. You call corporate, tell them which state you want added, and they guide you through the process. In many cases, state licensing only costs $200–$400. One additional closed loan can often cover that expense.

Consider the compounding value: one or two extra deals per year from additional state licensing adds up quickly—both in income and long-term business value.

Community and mentorship: a positive environment

One of the most underrated benefits of joining Edge is the community. We have an active Facebook group where loan officers share strategies, answers, and encouragement. I've gotten more practical help from that group than from some paid coaching programs I’ve tried in the past.

The environment is positive and collaborative. Corporate leaders, managers, and owners participate in the community—not just to oversee, but to mentor and support. That combination of peer-to-peer help plus leadership involvement accelerates learning and growth for everyone.

Competitive rates that beat many retail lenders

Because Edge is a large broker with strong lender relationships, we frequently secure rates that are better than what retail lenders can offer. That gives you a pricing advantage when competing for borrower business.

Remember: better pricing can win deals, and winning deals drives referrals and repeat business. If rates matter to you (they should), Edge’s broker relationships translate into a tangible competitive edge.

What Edge expects from you

While Edge offers tremendous freedom and reward, there are reasonable expectations. To be considered, you should:

  • Hold an active NMLS license.
  • Have recent production—if you haven’t closed a deal in the last ten months, that’s a red flag.
  • Preferably be closing at least one loan per month. That’s a modest baseline that indicates you’re actively building a pipeline.

If you meet those expectations, we should talk. Edge hosts private webinars a few times a week to walk through the onboarding process, compensation model, compliance, and operational details. You’ll get a full deep dive and have the opportunity to ask specific questions about your market and production goals.

How to get started: next steps and contact information

If this sounds like the kind of environment you want to build in, here’s how to move forward:

  1. Reach out to schedule a brief conversation so I can learn about your production, licensing, and goals.
  2. If it looks like a fit, I’ll invite you to one of our private webinars where we cover everything in detail.
  3. After the webinar, if you decide to proceed, corporate will walk you through licensing additions, onboarding, and tools to launch at Edge.

Common concerns and honest answers

You’ll likely have questions about risk, control, and support. Here are direct answers to the most common concerns I hear:

  • Will I lose control of my business? No. Edge is set up so you maintain full control—your brand, your clients, your pricing strategy—while receiving back-end support.
  • Am I stuck with preferred lenders? No. We are true brokers, meaning you can shop around for the best product and pricing. At the same time, our scale produces preferred pricing that you can use when it’s advantageous.
  • Is licensing expansion complicated? It’s straightforward. Corporate guides you through the state licensing process and the cost is often minimal relative to the incremental revenue potential.
  • What if my production is low? If you’re closing at least one loan a month, that’s a reasonable starting point. If you’re inactive for long stretches, we’ll have a conversation to determine if Edge is the right next step.

FAQ

Do I keep 100% of my commission?

Yes. Edge operates on a 100% commission model. You keep your commission and benefit from broker-level access to lenders and pricing.

What does “true broker” mean?

Being a true broker means we shop loans across our lender panel rather than steering borrowers to in-house or preferred retail channels. We have relationships with over 150 lenders and maintain true broker practices while leveraging preferred pricing due to our volume.

What kind of back-end support does Edge provide?

Edge provides compliance oversight, HR support, processing assistance, and administrative infrastructure so you can focus on origination and growth.

How many states is Edge licensed in?

Edge is licensed in 47 states and is working to reach all 50. Expanding to additional states is easy—corporate will tell you exactly what’s required.

What are the production expectations?

Edge expects loan officers to have current production. Closing at least one loan per month is a reasonable minimum to qualify for the opportunity and ensure you’re actively running a mortgage operation.

How do I learn more or join?

Reach out to schedule a conversation. If it looks like a good fit, I’ll invite you to a private webinar that provides a complete walkthrough of Edge’s model, tools, and onboarding steps.
