Mortgage Customer Support Agent (Remote)

Job overview

Mortgage is one of the most compliance-sensitive customer support fields, and also one of the most human. Borrowers call in about escrow changes, payment schedules, and payoff requests — and often, they're under real financial stress. As a Mortgage Customer Support Agent, you will answer inbound calls, chats, and emails from mortgage borrowers and applicants. You will help borrowers understand loan status, payment schedules, escrow, and statements; explain interest rates, escrow changes, and payment breakdowns in plain language; support payment processing, payment arrangements, and payoff requests within authority; guide borrowers through account access, statements, and tax-document downloads; and support applications, document requests, and underwriting follow-ups within scope. You will route loss-mitigation, hardship, and foreclosure-prevention questions to the appropriate team, escalate complex or compliance-sensitive cases, follow RESPA, TILA, GLBA, and AML guidelines, and document every interaction in the loan-servicing system or CRM.

This is a genuine entry-level, contract role. No prior mortgage or call-center experience is required. Paid training — including compliance-heavy training — covers mortgage products, servicing systems, escrow basics, RESPA/TILA/GLBA/AML rules, loss-mitigation routing, and escalation paths. Background checks and credit checks are required by most employers, and some roles may require NMLS registration after hire. The work is heavily compliance-driven: what can be said, and how it must be documented, is shaped by regulation. Empathy and accuracy matter more than speed.

This opportunity suits people searching for mortgage customer support agent remote, remote mortgage customer service jobs, mortgage servicing support work from home, or entry level mortgage customer service contract.
