Hundreds of production jobs in real estate finance are being filled across the country. Although most of the jobs are in retail, some wholesale positions are available.
As of June 30, there were 366 mortgage loan officers employed by Citizens Financial Group Inc., according to an August filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Once the IPO was completed, Citizens Financial Chief Executive Officer reportedly told American Banker that 350 mortgage officers would be recruited.
Wholesale field and desk representatives are being recruited by Athas Capital Group. The firm — which calls itself the “nation’s largest alternative lender” — offers Alt-A, subprime and hard-money programs.
