Any experience you have will leave a lasting impression, and embarking on the journey of buying or selling a home often culminates with the real estate closing. It’s a culmination of months of searching, negotiating, and paperwork, where dreams finally materialize into keys exchanged. But behind the scenes much more is happening.
At a title company, you will typically work with several professionals during the real estate closing process. When closing, both buyers and sellers want the best experience and knowing who the key people are at the title company can help. Some of the key individuals you may interact with are:
Data Entry/Escrow Officer: Your Data Entry/Escrow Officer oversees the escrow process, which involves holding funds in a secure, neutral account until all the conditions of the real estate transaction are met. They review contracts, confirm all parties in the transaction,order the title search and municipality search. Often taking many calls and acting as the hub of the office.
Title Processor: The Title Processor assists in reviewing the title commitment, which is a preliminary report that outlines the current condition of the title. They coordinate with various parties, such as lenders, real estate agents, and attorneys, to gather the necessary documents and order information for the title to be clear. Many calls are made to sellers and buyers and third parties for details for the real estate closing.

They prepare the final settlement statements, and schedule and facilitate the closing meeting, where all parties involved sign the necessary documents to transfer ownership officially. Preparing loan documents and coordinating all the moving parts of the real estate closing. The closing agent ensures that all documents are executed correctly and that funds are distributed appropriately, while following all instructions for escrow and upholding ethical values.
