Our client is seeking an experienced Paralegal Closer to join their team. The ideal candidate will have experience with residential and/or commercial real estate transactions and be proficient with Qualia or similar real estate closing software. They are looking for someone who is proactive, organized, detail-oriented, personable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

What You'll Do

• Prepare and review closing documents, including ALTA/CD settlement statements, deeds, and lender packages.

• Manage multiple transactions at once while staying organized and meeting deadlines.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of experience in real estate closings, real estate law, escrow, or a related field.
• Experience in a law firm, title company, escrow company, or similar environment is a plus.
• Working knowledge of real estate closing procedures, title documentation, and lender requirements.

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to stay organized while managing multiple files.

You don't necessarily need to come from a traditional real estate paralegal or closing background. If you have experience in escrow, legal, finance, or a related field and are comfortable working with documents, deadlines, and multiple parties, our client is open to considering your background.

They're looking for someone who is reliable, personable, detail-oriented, and willing to take ownership of their files - someone who can work independently while also being a strong team player.
