The Butler Agency
Mortgage Protection Life Insurance Sales Agent — Career Changers Welcome | Remote / 1099
Role: Mortgage Protection Insurance Sales Agent
Salem, OR professionals know the feeling: you've built real skills, but external forces — market shifts, policy changes, hiring freezes — still control too much of what you earn. The Butler Agency is hiring 100% remote, commission-based 1099 mortgage protection life insurance agents ready to own their income and their schedule. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Salem, OR area.
What you'll actually do
- Reach out to homeowners who may have an unmet need for mortgage protection coverage
- Schedule and hold coverage conversations over the phone or by video
- Listen to each family's situation and walk them through available protection options
- Help interested clients complete applications and guide them through underwriting
- Track activity and manage your pipeline using the provided CRM
- Attend weekly team calls and participate in call reviews to keep getting better
Who this is a fit for
- Professionals from industries where outside forces — rates, markets, regulations — drive your results (Chris spent 15 years in mortgage with his income dictated by interest rates, got licensed in a few weeks, and now works on his own schedule)
- Career-changers with strong people skills who are ready to apply them differently
- Candidates who do not yet hold a license but are willing to obtain a state life insurance license before selling
- Organized self-starters who follow through without daily supervision
- People who want mentorship and a real team while building something independent
What we provide
- 1:1 mentor and ride-alongs to learn the rhythm of this work at The Butler Agency
- Scripts, call reviews, and a provided CRM to keep you organized from the start
- Warm leads in addition to support for generating your own
- Weekly team connection to stay sharp and supported
The honest part
This is commission-only 1099 work — there is no salary, and results take consistent effort to build. It is not a fit for someone who needs guaranteed pay before they've put in the work. If this sounds like the right move, reach out to The Butler Agency and start a real conversation about building something that works for Salem and beyond.
