Job Bank pools this job under Mortgage Officer, which includes salaried mortgage specialists at banks. Its national median is $31.88 an hour, about $66,000 a year full time. Independent brokers are paid commission per closed mortgage, so a slow first year can land below this range and a strong year well above it.
