Operations

Solution-Oriented so You Can Grow Your Business…

From our Pre-Underwriting Department (Fastrak) to our Appraisal Department, and all the way to Closing and Disclosure, our teams are the behind-the-scenes stars that make production possible, keeping HOMESTAR running smoothly so you can focus on growing your business.

Underwriting: Agency Guidelines - Minimal Overlays

HOMESTAR Underwriters work tirelessly within the Agency Guidelines, allowing mortgage loans to close as quickly as possible and on time! All of this is the key to our #1 status in the mortgage industry. At the end of the day, every individual at HOMESTAR remembers that a family is counting down the days until they can live in their new home.

Underwriting Snapshot:

Hosted by HOMESTAR’s Chief Operations Officer, Silvia Contreras, Underwriting Snapshot is a monthly information feed posted on YouTube that provides agency updates, points out ways that Underwriting saved a loan by switching things up, policy changes, and new programs offered. Mortgage Loan Originators can easily listen to these 5-10 minute broadcasts while driving in their car, mowing the lawn, at soccer practice, or wherever is convenient.

Closing: The Final Frontier

HOMESTAR’s closing process is the final key to our success. Closing loans on time, efficiently, and with a well-defined process allows us to remain the lender of choice for the markets we serve.

Licensing

Supporting You Through Your Licensing Journey...

HOMESTAR’s Licensing Team supports you through your licensing journey by helping you get licensed and maintain your license. Whether you are completely new to the mortgage industry and need assistance scheduling your required coursework and testing, or you are an experienced mortgage professional, they make the process incredibly easy.

What sets HOMESTAR’s Licensing Team apart from other companies is that we have a dedicated employee who handles all NMLS filings, which takes the NMLS system and state filings off of you as an individual. In addition, once your license is approved and ready for operation, they make sure that you are set for renewal annually. Our Licensing Team enrolls each individual in the courses they need annually to complete renewal, follows up to ensure deadlines are met, and submits all renewals on your behalf.

If you are looking to expand your state licensing portfolio, HOMESTAR can assist with that as well! Our Licensing Specialist handles all new applications and ensures you have everything you need to get licensed in any additional states that you choose.

Rewards Program: The Summit

Reach for the Stars and Achieve Success…

The Summit is a rewards program where Mortgage Loan Originators are recognized for their outstanding production at three levels: President’s Club, Leaders Club, and Achievers Club.

To show our appreciation each year, HOMESTAR rewards Mortgage Loan Originators that reach the goal for one of these three production levels with an unforgettable trip to a beautiful destination.

Top performers spend up to a week in a domestic or international location connecting with other HOMESTAR family members, relaxing and recharging, and enjoying team-building opportunities.

“Jumping into the industry straight out of college with no prior experience has been a very big challenge. This industry is very complex and competitive, so there was a firehose of information that I needed to learn in a short amount of time. The support I have received and the resources provided by HOMESTAR are incredible. Any questions or situations I have run into, there are multiple resources at my fingertips. One of the best aspects about this company is the close-knit environment that is spread by everyone. Having our own Processors, Underwriting Department, Appraisal Department, and Closing Department allows for a very smooth mortgage transaction and provides the “easiest way home.” We are truly one big family here at HOMESTAR.”

Matthew Ridley, Mortgage Loan Originator at the Sylva, NC Branch

“Working for HOMESTAR has been a huge blessing in my life. I was nervous about leaving a position that I was very comfortable in, but I am so thankful that I took the chance. From day one at orientation, I could tell this was a company that I would fit right in with. The next few weeks were incredible, getting to know all of the different departments. As someone that has always done their own marketing, the Marketing Team blew my mind. They are quick and so good at what they do. I can always count on them to create something clever. The other department that won my heart right away was the HR Department. Everyone is very kind and caring. The technology that HOMESTAR offers is the best of any company I know. The new HOMESTAR SimpleNexus app, My HOMESTAR Mortgage, has been a game-changer. Our partners are already using it, and it is a great marketing tool for us. From our Underwriting Team to the Closing Team, everyone has been wonderful to work with. I am thrilled with HOMESTAR and imagine myself here for the long haul.”

Trinity Thatcher, Branch Manager at the Laramie, WY Branch

“After working in the mortgage industry for several years, and for some of the largest nationwide competitors, the technology that HOMESTAR has is right at the top. I love the atmosphere here, as HOMESTAR has the mindset that they want to close every loan possible. Our Underwriting Department is knowledgeable and timely, and our Closing Department is second to none. But, the biggest advantage is the team atmosphere that is through all departments – every single person wants the MLO to succeed. HOMESTAR does truly care about each employee.”
