Home loan and loan against property (LAP) sales is one of the most active hiring areas in banking and finance. Career Guideline currently has openings for home loan relationship managers and team managers, including in Mumbai and Bengaluru.
This guide explains what the roles involve, how DSA and open market sales differ, what skills help, and how a career grows.
What is a home loan or LAP sales job?
You find customers who need a loan to buy a home, or to borrow against a property they own (LAP), and guide them through documents, eligibility and approval until the loan is disbursed. Your performance is measured by loans disbursed.
DSA vs open market sales
- DSA (Direct Selling Agent) sales: you source customers through channels such as agents and partners and manage a field sales team. A recent Bengaluru and Gurgaon opening for a team manager was in DSA sales.
- Open market sales: you generate leads yourself from the market, for example through property projects, and convert them into disbursements. A recent Mumbai opening for a relationship manager was in open market home loans and LAP.

- Relationship manager, home loans / LAP, open market (Mumbai): an experienced sales role focused on home loan and LAP disbursements.
