Build a Career, Not Just Another Job.
At Barrister Title, we believe exceptional closings begin long before closing day.
Behind every smooth transaction is a team of professionals working together to solve problems, communicate proactively, and keep every file moving forward.
We're looking for a Title Assistant who is organized, dependable, detail-oriented, and eager to become an important part of that process.

If you're naturally curious, enjoy solving problems, and take pride in helping others succeed, we'd love to meet you.
About the Role:
As our Title Assistant, you'll work side-by-side with our Title Examiners and Processors, helping prepare title commitments, clear title issues, communicate with clients and lenders, and keep transactions moving efficiently.

- Help clear title requirements by obtaining payoff information, releases, affidavits, and supporting documentation.
- Order tax information, HOA documents, and other required items.
- Prepare CPLs and supporting title documents.
- Communicate with lenders, Realtors, attorneys, buyers, and sellers regarding outstanding title requirements.
- Monitor files to ensure commitments and title documents are delivered promptly.
- Maintain organized file documentation and accurate records.
- Assist examiners and processors with additional title-related tasks as needed.
- Jump in wherever needed to help keep the office running smoothly.
What We're Looking For:
Preferred Qualifications:
- Previous title, mortgage, real estate, legal, or lending experience is preferred.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills.
- Exceptional attention to detail.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to prioritize multiple files in a fast-paced environment.
- Positive attitude with a willingness to learn.
- Strong computer skills.
- SoftPro experience is a plus.
You'll Thrive Here If You...
- Love learning new things.
- Enjoy solving problems.
- Take ownership of your work.
- Communicate proactively.
- Notice details others miss.
- Like helping teammates succeed.
- Believe no task is beneath you if it helps the team.
- Want to build a long-term career in the title industry.
