• Request and review municipal lien certificates, tax information, mortgage payoffs, condominium documents, plot plans, and other closing-related materials.

• Prepare settlement statements, HUD-1 statements, Closing Disclosures, title affidavits, lender documents, and other routine closing documents.

• Complete post-closing responsibilities, including recording coordination, lender packages, title policies, and file completion.

• Assist with training and mentoring junior support staff in Massachusetts conveyancing procedures and file management.

• Provide clear, professional, and responsive communication to clients and other parties throughout the transaction.

  Skills

• Minimum of five years of recent Massachusetts residential real estate conveyancing experience.

• Demonstrated ability to independently manage a real estate transaction from file opening through post-closing.

• Strong knowledge of Massachusetts title examination, title commitments, title insurance requirements, and title-clearing procedures.

• Substantial experience preparing and balancing HUD-1 settlement statements and Closing Disclosures.

• Ability to identify title issues, determine the appropriate next steps, and work with the attorney and other parties toward resolution.

• Excellent organizational skills and close attention to detail.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Professional, responsive, and client-service-oriented demeanor.

• Ability to manage multiple transactions and competing deadlines without close daily supervision.

• Sound judgment and the ability to recognize when an issue should be escalated to the attorney.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Gmail, and Adobe Acrobat.

• Experience with Qualia is strongly preferred but not required.

• Experience with assignments, wholesale transactions, private lending, hard money loans, investor transactions, and double closings is a plus.
