Job Description
Commercial Loan Officer (Commercial Real Estate Debt & Equity Advisory & Lending)
Location: Ontario, CA – Local candidates preferred (In-office presence required for meetings/trainings)
Are you an experienced commercial lender ready for a high-upside opportunity?
We’re launching a brand-new Commercial Lending Division and are searching for a skilled Commercial Loan Officer to help us build it from the ground up.
This is a unique chance to step into a role with built-in deal flow from our highly active commercial real estate brokerage, while also growing your own pipeline with no cap on earning potential.
What You’ll Do
Service a steady stream of loan opportunities coming directly from our brokerage partner.
Build and manage your own pipeline of owner-user and investment property loans.
Host occasional finance training sessions for our commercial agents to drive loan volume and referrals.
Work side-by-side with a highly experienced leadership team dedicated to your professional growth.
Represent a new, fast-moving brand committed to becoming a leader in commercial real estate finance.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For:
● 5+ years in commercial lending, banking, or private lending.
● Existing book of business or strong referral relationships highly preferred.
● Licensed with the California DRE (required before starting).
● Based near Ontario, CA (or able to reliably commute for meetings and trainings).
● Entrepreneurial mindset and ready to grow beyond a salary-based role.
● Strong relationship-builder with excellent communication skills.
Benefits
Compensation & Earnings Potential
- Commission-based role with unlimited upside.
- $3,000 base pay in the first month (no draw deduction), then structured as a monthly draw against commissions.
- Net collections are calculated after standard deductions (draw + 0.25 bps from monthly loan volume).
- Sign-on bonus potential for candidates who bring an active, verifiable pipeline.
What does that mean in practice?
A conservative performer (LO1 example) can earn in the range of $100K+ annually.
A mid-range performer (LO2 example) can earn $200K+ annually.
With no cap on commissions, top performers can go well beyond that.
We’ll also provide:
- Full access to a sophisticated CRM,
- Strong support systems,
- A built-in referral network from our brokerage.
Why Join Us?
- Immediate deal flow from a top-producing commercial real estate brokerage.
- Direct mentorship and leadership support as you ramp.
- The opportunity to be part of building something new — with long-term leadership potential as our division grows.
