BROKER OPPORTUNITIES
You can work with ICS in one of TWO ways. Let's see where you might fit in.
ICS LENDING PARTNER
You work exclusively with ICS
ICS Lending Partners work exclusively with ICS and are considered independent contractors working under the ICS corporate brand or in partnership with ICS using their own company name. ICS Lending Partners are provided with everything needed to hit a minimum loan volume goal of no less than $3MM per month in funded loans. ICS Lending Partners have access to property owner contact leads and attend our weekly team Zoom calls on Tuesdays and Thursdays when available.
INDEPENDENT BROKER
Non-exclusive
Independent Brokers can submit loans to ICS for funding. ICS then arranges financing, including loan structuring, processing, underwriting, and lender placement. When you submit a loan to ICS, you can immediately schedule a loan review call to discuss the loan requirements in detail with an ICS Senior Team Loan Advisor. All client information is confidential and Independent Brokers are always protected. Independent Brokers do not have access to the ICS Funding Platform, training, or marketing tools and resources.
