About the role
Position Overview
A growing title services company providing residential and commercial real estate closing services across New York and New Jersey is seeking a Closing Specialist to join their Toms River, NJ office. Having built a strong New York operation over the past two years, the company recently expanded into New Jersey and is looking to grow its new local team. This is a foundational hire, the second team member in the NJ office, who will work closely with the Office Manager to handle real estate closing transactions from start to finish. The ideal candidate is professional, responsive, and comfortable working with numbers and legal documents, with the ability to eventually manage full transactions independently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

· Review legal documents and property requirements to ensure transactions meet all necessary conditions
· Prepare closing statements, including calculating incoming and outgoing funds
· Process fundings for completed transactions

· Provide in-office coverage of the New Jersey office through the end of the business day (generally 5:00-6:00 PM) to support ongoing transactions
· Build strong working relationships with attorneys, lenders, and other industry contacts to support the office's continued growth
· Take ownership of transactions with minimal oversight once trained, managing multiple files simultaneously
