Join an Established Maryland Real Estate Settlement Practice
An established Baltimore County title and settlement company is seeking an experienced Maryland-licensed real estate attorney with hands-on title review and settlement experience.

This role is ideal for an attorney who understands what must happen between receipt of a title search and the closing table—reviewing title, identifying legal or ownership issues, determining what must be resolved before settlement, preparing or reviewing necessary documents, and providing legal guidance when a transaction presents complications.

You will work alongside an experienced settlement and processing team, allowing you to focus on the legal, title-review, and client-facing aspects of the transaction.

Depending on the candidate’s background and interests, the position may also include relationship development and business development responsibilities. An existing portable book of business is not required.

What You Will Do
Review residential and commercial title searches before settlement
Identify liens, judgments, ownership issues, defects, exceptions, and other matters that could affect a transaction
Determine what must be satisfied, released, corrected, or otherwise resolved before closing
Handle and oversee title curative matters
Review deeds, powers of attorney, trusts, estates, entity documents and other legal documents affecting ownership or conveyance
Prepare and review deeds, affidavits, corrective instruments and other transaction documents
Address title issues involving estates, trusts, divorces, business entities, prior conveyances and other ownership matters
Provide legal guidance to settlement processors and other members of the closing team
Communicate with buyers, sellers, lenders, real estate agents and other parties when legal issues arise
Conduct residential and commercial settlements as needed
Help ensure transactions are legally ready to proceed to closing
Depending on experience and interest, develop and maintain relationships with real estate agents, lenders, investors, and other referral partners

What We Are Looking For
Active Maryland Bar license in good standing
Approximately 3+ years of relevant real estate, title, or settlement legal experience
Hands-on experience reviewing title searches and identifying issues that must be resolved before closing
Experience resolving or coordinating resolution of title defects and curative matters
Knowledge of Maryland real estate transactions and conveyancing
Experience preparing and/or reviewing deeds and other real estate transaction documents
Ability to independently analyze unusual or complicated title situations
Strong communication and client-service skills
Ability to manage multiple transactions and deadlines simultaneously

Particularly Relevant Experience
We are especially interested in attorneys who have worked in:
Title and settlement companies
Real estate law firms
Residential or commercial real estate practices
Real estate closing practices
Title examination and curative work
Real estate transactions involving estates, trusts, entities, or complicated ownership issues

Experience conducting settlements is valuable, but the ability to review title and resolve pre-closing legal issues is particularly important for this position.

Opportunity to Shape the Role
The position can be structured around the strengths of the right attorney.
For a candidate who prefers a primarily legal and transactional role, the focus can remain on title review, curative work, settlements, and legal support.

For an attorney who enjoys relationship development, the position can also include business development, referral-partner relationships, networking, and practice growth, with additional incentive compensation tied to results.

Confidential Search
This is a direct-hire opportunity with an established Baltimore County title and settlement company.
