Yes 2009 will be a challenging year.

This is an unprecedented opportunity to join an outstanding organization and gain insight into managing through tough times. We believe we are well positioned to weather the storm as we have successfully originated or acquired a portfolio of loans exceeding$5.5 Billion dollars over the last 13 years and built a national reputation as the #1 lender in the manufactured housing industry.

Our entry-level position of financial counselor is a training position for all levels of our company. They are not commission-based, are not sales-oriented and will prepare our teammates to take advantage of good economic times when they return.
ONLY A FEW OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE.
21st Mortgage is located in the heart of revitalized downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. Known for its proximity to some of the country’s greatest natural resources, residents enjoy their leisure time on the many lakes around the Tennessee Valley or the nature trails of the Great Smoky Mountains.
