Job Description

No specific degree or experience required but we're looking for translatable skills and relevant expertise. Bring your passion, drive, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, results-driven environment and we'll provide the training and support you need to succeed and grow with us!
About The Role:
As an Insurance Agent (Insurance Sales Advisor), you'll deliver a one-of-a-kind insurance experience to our homebuying Veterans, helping them find the right coverage for their needs. You'll work closely with Loan Officers, insurance carrier partners, and our Operations team to ensure a smooth, seamless journey from a warm introduction all the way to the finish line. If you thrive on creating solutions, love helping people, and enjoy a sales role that rewards your hard work and determination, this is the place for you. We're a growing company with a thriving culture, where you'll be empowered to protect and educate our Veterans and their families with extraordinary care. It's a challenging job, no doubt, but the reward comes from knowing you've provided peace of mind and protection for others while growing both personally and professionally. Want a career that pays you for what you're worth? In this base + commission role, top producers are bringing in $60-$75K in their first year, $70-$85K in their second year, and $100K and beyond by year 5. We don't cap your ambition—we reward it. Here's a snapshot of what you'd be doing: Reaching out to customers within 24 hours of getting their info—sharing quotes, answering their questions, and helping them find the insurance solution that fits just right. Taking care of issuing insurance policies while figuring out their overall needs and offering options for home, auto, and other types of coverage. Keeping in touch with our Operations teams and insurance carriers to make sure policies are accurate and everything moves smoothly from the customer to the loan team. Building great relationships with Loan Officers, insurance carriers, and other partners—gathering info, keeping everyone in the loop, and delivering an awesome customer experience. Pitching in wherever needed and help foster a supportive and collaborative team culture.
About You:
You're competitive, thrive in a fast-paced, results-driven environment, and love solving problems while working with others. You're hardworking, adaptable, and can handle shifting priorities like a pro. You've got great communication skills (both written and verbal) and know how to deliver top-notch customer service. Attention to detail? Check. You're the type who stays on top of tasks, meets deadlines, follows up, and can juggle multiple responsibilities without missing a beat. You enjoy being part of a team, collaborating to get things done, and bringing a positive vibe to the workplace. You've got experience working with customers over the phone (at least a year), and if you're not already Property & Casualty licensed, you're ready to get licensed when you join us. You're comfortable with basic computer tech and ready to dive into tools designed for an internet-based company. Oh, and you show up—reliable, ready to go, and committed to making a difference every day.
About Us:
We're all about helping Veterans and military families become homeowners. In two short decades, we closed over 500,000 VA Loans and became the #1 VA lender for homebuyers in the nation. But to us, success isn't measured in numbers. Our success is measured in living our values every day: Be Passionate and Have Fun, Deliver Results with Integrity and Enhance Lives Every Day. We always strive to provide friendly service to military homebuyers and their families. And we always seek to lift up people and communities across the country. We're so glad you're here checking out this opportunity! If this role gets you excited but you're worried you don't check every box - don't sweat it. We're more interested in what you can bring to the team than a perfect checklist. If you're passionate, driven, and ready to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you. Come as you are, and together we'll create something amazing. Interested? Apply Today!
