Careers
A Career Built on Trust
City First looks for loan officers who explain a loan in everyday language and stay with the borrower through closing. You work with a processing team, a wide set of programs, and a company that has been lending for more than 30 years.
Why People Stay
A Career Built on People, Not Just Loans
At City First Mortgage, we believe great mortgage professionals do more than close loans. They build relationships, help families achieve their homeownership dreams, and make a lasting difference in the communities they serve. Our loan officers guide clients through every step of the process, making complex decisions easier to understand and providing personal support all the way to closing.
With more than 30 years in the mortgage industry, City First Mortgage combines the personal feel of a relationship-driven business with the strength and support of Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group. We’re licensed in 46 states and Washington, D.C., are members of the Mortgage Bankers Association and The Mortgage Collaborative, and support veterans through the Gold Star Foundation.

Three Reasons to Look Closer
Experienced loan officers look for a place where the borrower stays with them, and where the company behind the file is real.
01
The Relationship
The Borrower Stays With You
You are the person on the file from the first conversation through closing. A processing team helps with the paperwork. The relationship stays with you, including the next time that borrower moves or refinances.
02
The Work
Programs With Real Range
Purchase, refinance, and specialty files sit with the same team. That includes conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, reverse, physician, investment, and commercial programs. What is available still depends on the file and the state.
03
The Support
A Team You Can Call
Processing, operations, technology, and leadership sit behind the loan officer. City First invests in tools, training, and the community so that work can stay personal.
What the Work Asks
- Explain loan choices in everyday language before anyone signs
- Stay with the borrower from the first conversation through closing
- Work with a processing team on the details of the file
- Use purchase, refinance, and specialty programs when they fit the file
- Talk with Jon Prussel if you want to join as a loan officer
What We Will Not Promise
- Promise an income, a split, or a pipeline on this page
- Claim an approval, a rate, or a closing date
- Say we are the lowest-cost lender
- Ask for a Social Security number in the contact form
- Talk down another company to win a borrower
