Why MLOs Move Here

What a Tennessee MLO gets at Innovative

A compensation model and platform built for independent MLOs — not for a big-bank branch hierarchy.

100% Compensation

Earn a flat 275 bps on every loan you fund. No tiers, no overlays on your pay, no slow climb up a comp grid — you keep the rest.

One $695 Flat Fee

A single $695 transaction fee per closed loan. That is it. No hidden splits siphoning off your commission deal after deal.

Paid in 24 Hours

Get paid within 24 hours of funding. Your commission shouldn't sit in someone else's account waiting on a pay cycle.

No Quotas

No minimum production requirements and no commission caps. Write the volume that fits your business and your life.

Cutting-Edge LOS

Originate on Arive from any device. Borrowers apply, upload documents, and consent to credit through a modern point-of-sale portal.

25-State Reach

Licensed in Tennessee and 24 other states. Keep your Tennessee book and follow your borrowers and referral partners across state lines.

The Tennessee Advantage

Why Tennessee MLOs choose Innovative

Innovative Mortgage Services, Inc. (NMLS #250769) was established in 2004 and has spent two decades building an end-to-end origination platform for licensed MLOs. We are not a big bank, and we don't operate like one. We're a privately held mortgage company run by a management team with more than 75 years of combined industry experience, focused on one thing: giving independent MLOs the compensation, products, and support they deserve.

Tennessee has become one of the most active housing markets in the country — from the Nashville and Middle Tennessee growth corridor to the Memphis metro, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and the Tri-Cities. Borrowers here range from first-time buyers and relocating professionals to move-up families, self-employed business owners, and second-home and investment purchasers. To compete across that range, you need every product, sharp pricing, and a partner that pays you what you are worth on each loan. That is exactly the model we built: a flat 275 bps on every loan, one $695 transaction fee, and your commission in hand within 24 hours of funding — with no quotas and no caps holding you back.

Whether you are a seasoned producer tired of giving away half your commission, or an established MLO who simply wants to keep more of what you earn, Innovative gives you the room to grow your Tennessee book on your terms. Work 100% remote from your home office, lean on processing and onboarding support that genuinely cares about your success, and originate alongside 300+ MLOs backed by access to 100+ lenders and investors.

Compensation Snapshot

The math is simple — and it's in your favor

No asterisks and no "up to." This is the plan every Innovative MLO works under, in Tennessee and in all 25 states we serve.

275 bps
Flat compensation, every loan

You earn the same rich 275 basis points on every loan you fund — no tiers and no caps that shrink your pay as you produce more.

$695
One flat fee per loan

A single $695 transaction fee per closed loan covers your cost to originate with Innovative. You keep the rest of your commission.

24 hrs
From funding to your pocket

Paid within 24 hours of funding so your cash flow keeps pace with your pipeline instead of trailing weeks behind it.

See it on your own numbers

Plug your average loan amount and monthly units into our Pay Raise Calculator and watch the difference a flat 275 bps and a single $695 fee can make against the split you are working under today.

The headline figures are large for a reason: 275 bps is a genuinely rich rate, and when you stop surrendering a chunk of every commission, the gap adds up fast. Run your real Tennessee numbers and decide for yourself.
