Already Selling on Commission? Remote Mortgage Protection Sales, 1099

Hackensack, NJ Contract (1099) Posted Aug 18, 2026
Start my application

Hackensack, NJ: The Wood Agency is hiring remote mortgage protection life insurance salespeople to serve the healthcare and corporate employment centers across the region. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position — you'll work entirely from your own space, serving homeowners in Hackensack and beyond who've recently taken out mortgages and expressed interest in coverage options.

What you'll actually do

  • Contact homeowners who've recently taken out a mortgage and have expressed interest in coverage options
  • Schedule and hold protection conversations by phone or video
  • Understand each client's situation and explain mortgage protection options clearly
  • Help clients complete applications and stay with them through underwriting
  • Manage your own pipeline and follow-up — no one will do this for you
  • Join weekly team calls to sharpen your process alongside a small, active team

Who this is a fit for

  • Salespeople from any industry already comfortable working entirely on commission
  • People who know how to listen first and recommend second
  • Organized self-starters who manage their schedule without needing check-ins
  • Willing to get a life insurance license before your first sale, or already licensed
  • People who want a long-term client relationship, not a one-and-done transaction
  • Someone who can work without being micromanaged and still hits their own standard

What we provide

  • Scripts, call reviews, ride-alongs, and weekly team calls at The Wood Agency
  • 1:1 mentorship — you work directly with Ben and Andrea, not through a management layer
  • 43 carriers across all 50 states so you're never limited to one product line

The honest part

This is 100% commission-based 1099 contractor work — no base, no salary. If you're already used to earning that way and want to understand how the life side works, The Wood Agency is worth a real conversation. If you need guaranteed income, be honest with yourself about that before you apply.

Ready to build your mortgage protection practice with a team that mentors rather than manages? Apply now or reach out to Ben and Andrea directly to learn how The Wood Agency supports agents in the Hackensack area and across the country.
