Find Work-Life Balance and a Prosperous Career at Assurance
COVID-19 put a strain on every American’s personal and professional lives, and we all had to learn a “new normal” in every aspect of both. Assurance has always made it a priority to build a culture that allows its employees to maintain a good work-life balance, but that became even more apparent when the pandemic put many of us in an unexpected work-from-home situation. Both our operations and administrative teams stepped up to the challenge brought on by these new circumstances – getting our full team the technology needed to continue serving our clients and partners without missing a beat. In fact, our time to close still beats the national average by 5 days or more, even though we are doing more business than ever before!
If work-life balance is your goal – while maintaining a high volume of business – then Assurance is your place to work. Contact a National Development Business Manager today to learn more about all that we can offer to help you meet your career goals!
Meet Jennifer Strickland, Loan Officer in Birmingham, AL
Hear from one of our top loan officers about why experienced loan officers choose Assurance!
Jennifer Strickland was no stranger to the mortgage industry when she joined in 2019. Coming from a bank environment where it was more about meeting quotas than learning and growing as a lender, Jennifer wanted to get back to the basics of residential lending – helping people and closing loans. With a reputation as a solid lender and a strong client base, she felt assured that Assurance would provide the support necessary to get every one of her loans to the closing table properly and on time.
Jennifer appreciates that the loan process is handled fully in-house and that she is continually learning and growing to become an even stronger lender and a better resource to her clients and referral partners. She says “There is a difference working with a smaller mortgage bank situation than a larger corporation. But on top of that, there is an Assurance Financial difference.”

How did three industry experts shift their business to come out on top? Katherine Campbell, Assurance Financial CDO, discusses success during a challenging year in Snapdocs’ web series “Modern Lender Office Hours”.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way many do business – including the mortgage industry. But where other mortgage bankers have fallen short, we have thrived!
We are an independent mortgage banker and handle the full loan process in-house – from processing to underwriting, closing, and funding! While we have seen a mass influx of loan applications since the 1st quarter of 2020, it hasn’t stopped us from meeting our guarantee of closing on time, every time. Our back-office teams increased their hours and level of service, and thanks to the technology we implemented in 2018 and 2019, we are not only able to keep up, but still today we are beating the national average of “Time to Close” by 5 days or more!
