Job description

Title Forward, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Redfin, is a group of well-funded technology and real estate entrepreneurs. Our mission is simple. We want to modernize the multi-billion dollar title and settlement industry to deliver a seamless, transparent, and delightful experience to buyers and sellers and make our real estate and lending partners look like geniuses and rock stars in the process. We are putting together a team of innovative, hungry, and highly motivated professionals to blend technology and customer service with a dash of automation and good old know-how to build a new kind of national title agency.

As a Closing Specialist, you will work to manage various documents and files throughout the settlement process.

The Role:

• Add fees and charges to build Closing Disclosures and Closing Statements for real estate settlements, including recording fees, transfer taxes, property taxes, commissions, utility bills, homeowners association fees, and contract credits.
• Coordinate directly with mortgage lenders to balance their borrowers’ Closing Disclosures, obtain loan documents for closing, and authorization to disburse after documents are executed.
• Communicate and develop good working relationships with lenders.
• Ensure that loan documents are prepared correctly to match title documents.
• Balance our files internally so that all incoming and outgoing funds match to the penny.

Skills and Experience:

• 3+ years title insurance experience is required, particularly in a position responsible for building Closing Disclosures, Closing Statements and/or HUD-1 Settlement Statements within the Arizona market.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills along with a positive, “can-do” attitude.
• Attention to detail and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Extremely comfortable working with numbers and troubleshooting to balance a bottom line.
• A Multi-tasker: You are able to work with multi-tasking skills and prioritization in a constantly changing environment.
• Detail-oriented: You are the one that finds a needle in a haystack.
• Tech-Savvy: You’re comfortable with technology and learn new programs quickly.

What We Offer:

• An open, entrepreneurial environment: New ideas are always welcome. We want to foster an environment of continuous improvement where everyone on the team contributes.
• Competitive compensation packages.
• Generous benefits, including paid vacation, medical, dental, and vision insurance, fully paid family leave, and more.
• Amazingly smart and fun teammates and a management team invested in your growth and success.
