$24 hourly Responsibilities:

WHAT YOU’LL DO Manage assigned buyer and seller paperless transactions from executed contract through closing and final file completion.

Conduct audits of each transaction to identify missing information, documents, signatures, and other potential issues.

Enter and maintain critical contract dates, deadlines, and transaction milestones in the appropriate systems, including Salesforce, SkySlope, and Dotloop.

Monitor each transaction throughout the process for potential delays, missing information, approaching deadlines, and compliance concerns.

Follow up persistently and professionally with agents, clients, lenders, title companies, and other partners to keep everything on track.

Coordinate the execution of amendments, notices, and other non-negotiation transaction documents.

Facilitate electronic signatures and ensure documents are fully executed and properly distributed.

Recognize when a transaction requires additional attention and take action before an issue becomes a problem.

Hold agents accountable to transaction deadlines and requirements while maintaining a positive and professional working relationship.

Identify recurring transaction issues, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies.

Bring forward ideas for improving workflows, communication, systems, and processes.

Help develop and refine checklists, resources, and procedures as the department continues to grow.

Contribute to a culture of accountability, organization, responsiveness, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

Ideal attributes and skills you will bring to this role: Exceptionally detail-oriented. You notice the missing signature, the incorrect date, the overlooked deadline, and the small inconsistency that could become a much bigger problem later.

Proactive. You don't wait for someone to tell you something needs to be done. You think ahead, anticipate what's coming next, and take action.

A critical thinker. Real estate transactions don't always fit neatly into a checklist. When something unexpected happens, you can assess the situation, determine what information you need, identify potential solutions, and know when to escalate.

Highly organized. You can manage a large number of moving pieces without losing track of the details.

Deadline-driven. You understand that timing matters. You know how to prioritize competing demands and respond with an appropriate sense of urgency.

An exceptional communicator. You're clear, professional, responsive, and comfortable following up with people repeatedly when necessary.

Technologically capable. You're comfortable learning and navigating multiple systems and can troubleshoot and figure things out independently.

Accountable. You take ownership of your files and responsibilities. You don't need someone constantly checking behind you to make sure things are getting done.

Resourceful. When you encounter something you've never seen before, your first instinct isn't "I don't know." It's "Let me figure this out."

A team player. You understand that excellent operations require collaboration, communication, and a willingness to jump in and help solve problems.

Qualifications 2-3+ years of previous experience REQUIRED

in real estate transaction coordination, real estate operations, title, residential lending, brokerage, or a related field (MO RE license preferred but not required).

Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.
