What You’ll Do

You’re the glue that holds real estate transactions together and makes them happen. Supporting the closing representative and working with agents, buyers, sellers, lawyers, lenders, surveyors and others, you collect, organize and process all the necessary documentation to ensure the closing gets completed on time and with a minimum of stress. Details matter. You make sure documents are filed and checks are written after closing. When something isn’t right – paperwork is incomplete or a detail is wrong – you know how to fix it. Agents and their clients appreciate your friendliness and expertise. People depend on you to deliver. And you do.

• Multi-tasker, being able to work in a fast-paced environment, processing a large number of contracts simultaneously under deadline pressure.
• Strong communicator, with good written and verbal skills; your ability to read people and understand their personality enables you to deliver both good and bad news in a sensitive way.
• Professional demeanor, creating a positive image for the company through your appearance, performance and relationship with colleagues and customers.

Your Responsibilities

• Reliable supporter: Providing outstanding assistance to the closing representative, so that sales go smoothly and we retain their business through white glove service.
• Document processor: Preparing loan documents for signing, including vesting amendments when applicable, present loan documents and other records for signing and returning loan documents to lender after signing and following up on funding conditions.
• Insightful advisor: Reviewing the real estate purchase contract, making sure it is complete and requesting any missing information; performing a preliminary audit and determining or obtaining any necessary items to clear a title; preparing estimated closing statements for officer to review.
• Deal finisher: Maintaining the files, recording the appropriate documentation, and sending checks once the closing is complete and transmit documents to the lender.
• Relationship and business builder: Establishing and maintaining relationships with industry players that encourage them to choose us their first choice for escrow processing.
