• Take ownership of your files from contract through closing
• Can work independently in a remote environment

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You may start by reviewing active transactions and identifying upcoming contingencies, inspection deadlines, outstanding disclosures, or documents requiring signatures.

Throughout the day, you’ll communicate with agents, lenders, escrow/title officers, and clients; route documents for electronic signature; update transaction files; follow up on missing paperwork; and make sure upcoming deadlines are clearly communicated.
