Full Job Description

Founded in 2000, Plaza Home Mortgage, Inc. is a privately owned, full-service national lender, offering Wholesale, Correspondent, Renovation and Reverse residential mortgages. Headquartered in San Diego, California, Plaza employs a network of sales associates to serve its clients nationwide.

Plaza is dedicated to building quality, long-term relationships with its mortgage broker and correspondent clients by offering comprehensive programs and exceptional customer experience.

The Junior Non-QM Underwriter provides support to Plaza’s Non-QM Underwriting Team by performing pre-underwrite file scrubs, organizing and validating documentation, reviewing conditions, and assisting with underwriting preparation tasks. This role bridges administrative and analytical responsibilities—supporting Underwriters in clearing conditions, coordinating appraisal-related items, working Change of Circumstance (COC) requests, and assisting with exception documentation and processing.

Responsibilities and Duties:

Perform detailed pre-underwrite file scrubs to ensure all required documents are accurate, complete, and properly indexed for underwriting review.
Communicate with Account Executives (AEs), Client Service Representatives (CSRs), and clients to obtain missing or clarifying documentation as directed.
Review and organize underwriting conditions to verify documentation matches the condition, removing duplicates and ensuring alignment prior to UW review.
Order appraisal-related conditions and monitor receipt, corrections, or reissues on behalf of Underwriters.
Work the Change of Circumstance (COC) Task Queue to review and process requests in accordance with Plaza policies.
Assist the Underwriting Support Team with exception requests by identifying missing items, uploading documentation, and completing administrative steps for exception tracking.
Assist Underwriters with managing high email volume by responding to messages forwarded from Underwriters for urgent or time-sensitive items, researching file details, and coordinating with internal partners as needed.
Assist in clearing minor conditions on loan files when an assigned Underwriter is out of the office to ensure timely file movement.
Run quality control tools (e.g., FraudGuard, EarlyCheck) and update system records to ensure data integrity.
Complete required pre-closing or pipeline checklists and maintain a paperless file environment consistent with Plaza standards.
Support special projects, reporting, or other tasks as directed by the Team Lead or Manager.
Additional duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

High school diploma or equivalent required; college degree preferred.
Minimum of 2 years of mortgage experience, with exposure to underwriting or loan file review preferred
Strong knowledge of Non-QM documentation including bank statements, self-employment, and asset-utilization programs.
Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills with the ability to prioritize multiple tasks and deadlines.
Effective written and verbal communication; able to collaborate with Underwriters, Sales, and Operations teams.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and familiarity with LOS and paperless imaging systems.
Ability to analyze documentation, identify discrepancies, and ensure compliance with investor and internal guidelines.
Demonstrated initiative, reliability, and commitment to supporting team goals in a fast-paced environment.

Compensation and Benefits:

Estimated Rate of Pay:

$31.73 - $38.46
