About the Employer

With over 30 years of success built on putting people first, Merchants Capital is a proven leader in financing for multifamily housing nationwide. Our licenses with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD/FHA, in addition to our bank's balance sheet products, allow us to offer custom solutions with agility and ease of execution, expanding access to housing in meaningful and impactful ways. Recognized as a top five affordable lender, Merchants Capital pairs our comprehensive debt offerings with in-house tax credit equity to provide a one-stop-shop for developers and owners.

Role Summary

As a Multifamily Closer, your primary responsibility is to facilitate the closing of Investment Real Estate loans, including bridge, construction, and line-of-credit transactions. You will also collaborate with Agency Closers (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD) on complex deals. At Merchants, no two transactions are alike—we tailor financing solutions to meet our customers' unique goals. If you thrive working independently, enjoy solving complex challenges, and aren't someone who simply "checks the box," we encourage you to apply today!
