• Interpret and apply lender, title, and closing instructions to support timely and accurate settlements.

• Coordinate with internal teams, borrowers, investors, title partners, and other stakeholders to resolve issues that could delay closing.

• Monitor multiple transactions across jurisdictions while maintaining consistent service levels and strong attention to detail.

• Identify file discrepancies, missing information, or funding concerns early and take action to keep transactions moving forward.

• Support process improvements within settlement operations and assist with office-based collaboration when needed.

Qualifications:

• At least 10 years of hands-on experience managing residential real estate escrow, settlements, and closings.
• Strong working knowledge of residential transaction workflows, including closing documentation and escrow processing.
• Experience preparing and reviewing closing packages and applying detailed closing instructions accurately.
