Escrow Assistant

Old Republic Title is looking for a licensed Escrow Assistant with experience in real estate transactions who is interested in building a long-term career in the title and escrow industry.

The ideal candidate has a solid understanding of the escrow process from opening through funding and can confidently handle purchase/sale and refinance transactions. We are looking for someone who is ready to continue learning, grow within the industry, and take on increasing responsibility over time.

This position is also an opportunity for an experienced escrow professional to mentor and support less-experienced escrow assistants, sharing knowledge and helping develop the next generation of escrow professionals.

What You'll Do

• Open, process, and fund purchase/sale and refinance transactions from beginning to completion.
• Review preliminary reports and title commitments and work to clear title requirements, including researching discrepancies, obtaining lien releases, and clearing other encumbrances.
• Request payoff, HOA, and utility demands.
• Review tax rolls for accuracy, assessments, and potential liens.
• Assist with quoting escrow fees and other charges.
• Request and authorize loans for funding.
• Receipt and disburse funds, including sending payoffs.
• Prepare funding packages and provide funding conditions.
• Schedule and coordinate signing appointments both in and outside the office.
• Prepare documents and signing packages for customers.
• Maintain accurate electronic transaction files and upload documents appropriately.
• Communicate professionally and proactively with lenders, buyers, sellers, realtors, co-workers, and other transaction parties.
• Provide guidance, training, and mentorship to less-experienced escrow assistants.
• Continue developing knowledge of title insurance, escrow, real estate transactions, and applicable regulations.
• Follow company policies, procedures, compliance requirements, and regulatory standards.
• Maintain confidentiality of customer and transaction information.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Current escrow/title license, or demonstrated readiness to complete the required licensing assessment and obtain the necessary license.
• Previous experience in escrow, title, or real estate transactions.
• Working knowledge of the escrow process from opening through funding.
• Familiarity with title insurance, escrow documents, fees, and terminology.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple transactions and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and take initiative.
• Professional and customer-focused approach.
• Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Office and Outlook.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality.

We'd especially like to hear from you if you:

• Want to grow your career in the title and escrow industry.
• Are interested in expanding your knowledge and taking on additional responsibilities.
• Enjoy learning and staying current on industry practices and regulations.
• Have experience training, coaching, or mentoring other escrow professionals.
• Enjoy helping less-experienced team members learn and become more confident in their roles.
• Are dependable, positive, personable, and professional.
• Know how to work independently while also being comfortable asking questions and collaborating with a team.

Why This Role?

This is a great opportunity for an experienced, licensed escrow professional who wants more than a job processing files. We are looking for someone who wants to build a career, continue developing their expertise, and contribute to the growth of the team by mentoring others.

Work Environment

This is a fast-paced role that requires accuracy, organization, responsiveness, and the ability to manage time-sensitive transactions. Overtime and occasional after-hours company events may be required.
