This is an excellent opportunity for a paralegal with strong commercial real estate, title, survey, and closing experience who is interested in moving into, or continuing to grow within, an in-house environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and revise real estate documents, including purchase and sale agreements, leases, contracts, easements, and related transactional documents
• Prepare, organize, and manage closing documents for commercial real estate transactions
• Conduct detailed title and survey review, identify potential issues, and prepare title objections and responses
• Coordinate with title companies, surveyors, lenders, local government agencies, and other external parties to resolve transactional issues
• Support all phases of real estate transactions, including due diligence, financing, development, and closing
• Manage multiple active transactions simultaneously by maintaining deal checklists and tracking critical dates, deliverables, and deadlines
• Assist with entity formation, organizational structuring, and preparation of related corporate documentation
• Maintain corporate records, including resolutions, annual reports, and governance documents
• Assist with corporate filings and other governance requirements
• Support the legal team with issues related to property development and management
• Conduct and summarize legal and transactional research
• Maintain accurate internal records and coordinate documentation with outside vendors and business partners

Qualifications

• 5+ years of paralegal experience, with a strong emphasis on commercial real estate transactions
• Substantial experience with title and survey matters is strongly preferred
• Experience supporting real estate transactions from due diligence through closing
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple transactions and competing deadlines simultaneously
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• High level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Proactive, self-directed work style with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Ability to collaborate effectively with attorneys, business teams, lenders, title companies, surveyors, and other third parties
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel
• Ability to work onsite in the Winter Park / Greater Orlando area, with the potential for a hybrid schedule once established

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This role offers the opportunity to:

• Join a growing in-house legal team within an active real estate development organization
• Work directly with senior legal leadership
• Gain exposure to transactions across the entire real estate development lifecycle
• Take meaningful ownership of transactions rather than handling only one component of the closing process
• Work in a fast-paced environment where legal partners closely with development, finance, construction, and other business functions
• Build a long-term career within a growing real estate platform
