Full Time Professional Glen Allen, VA, US
Founded in Richmond in 1997, CapCenter helps individuals and families achieve homeownership through an integrated approach that combines mortgage, realty, and insurance services. Our mission is to make homeownership simpler, faster, and more affordable—while protecting clients through life's most important financial decisions. Known for our Zero Closing Cost mortgage, we've grown through the trust of satisfied clients and word‑of‑mouth referrals. Job Overview CapCenter is seeking a Legal Operations Attorney who brings legal expertise, business acumen, and a commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience. This is not a traditional law firm role—it is a high‑impact position blending operations leadership, compliance oversight, and client‑facing closing work. You will conduct residential real estate closings with precision, address client concerns, and ensure every client leaves eager to refer CapCenter to friends and family.
Operations Team Leadership. You will lead a cross‑functional team of mortgage and closing professionals, driving adherence to operational timelines and holding the team accountable for client satisfaction from application through closing. This includes coaching team members, identifying bottlenecks, and ensuring that team operations reflect CapCenter’s mission of simplifying the homeownership experience and maintaining full transparency in every client interaction.
As in‑house counsel embedded in CapCenter’s mortgage and closing operations, you will advise the production and closing teams on legal, title, and compliance requirements imposed by applicable law and the secondary mortgage market, keeping transactions compliant and well‑structured from initiation through closing.
Transaction Quality Control. You will serve as the quality control backstop across CapCenter’s title, loan production, closing, and realty teams—reviewing documentation, identifying risk, and ensuring every file meets company standards before closing.
Strong analytical skills, sound legal judgment, and a desire to use a legal background to drive business results are essential. Legal experience, preferably in real estate, mortgage lending, or a related transactional practice, is strongly preferred.
Active Virginia law license (or eligibility for admission) and J.D. from an accredited law school
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex legal and financial concepts clearly
Willingness to develop deep expertise in local real estate and mortgage markets
We offer a competitive compensation package to include base salary, annual bonus, medical, dental and life insurance benefits, 401K, and paid vacation. We do not discriminate against applicants/employees on any protected basis and are an Equal Opportunity Employer: Veteran/Disability.
