This is a fast-paced, deadline-driven position where communication, organization, urgency, and attention to detail are critical. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, thinks ahead, solves problems quickly, and thrives under pressure.

• Coordinate and schedule residential mortgage loan closings.
• Communicate directly with notaries, mobile signing agents, title companies, settlement agents, and internal closing teams.
• Locate and confirm qualified notaries/signing agents for scheduled closings.
• Manage closing appointments and ensure all parties have accurate dates, times, locations, and instructions.
• Upload, distribute, and manage closing packages and related documentation.
• Monitor scheduled closings from initial assignment through completion.
• Confirm notaries have received closing documents and understand signing instructions.
• Follow up immediately on outstanding documents, scheduling conflicts, missed appointments, and closing issues.

Proficiency with Encompass

Proficiency with Snapdocs

Strong computer and document-management skills

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage a large number of closings simultaneously

Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy

Ability to prioritize quickly and work effectively under tight deadlines

Comfortable working directly with notaries, title companies, settlement agents, loan officers, processors, and other mortgage professionals

Ability to identify issues and take ownership of resolving them

• Previous experience in mortgage closings, title, escrow, notary scheduling, or mortgage operations.
• Experience supporting high-volume closing teams.

This may include:

• Extended hours during high-volume periods.
• Month-end flexibility and availability.
• Evening work when necessary to ensure scheduled closings are completed.
• Weekend availability when business needs or month-end deadlines require it.

Our goal is simple: provide borrowers and closing partners with timely, professional support through the successful completion of every closing.

A successful Closing Scheduler:

• Keeps closings organized and moving without constant oversight.
• Communicates proactively rather than reactively.
• Responds quickly when challenges arise.
• Maintains exceptional accuracy, even during high-volume periods.
• Builds strong relationships with notaries and closing partners.
• Takes ownership of their closing pipeline from scheduling through completion.
• Understands the importance of urgency, accountability, and customer experience.
• Does what's necessary during critical closing periods to help borrowers get to the finish line.

At Independence Home Loans, we're committed to delivering an exceptional borrower experience while fostering a culture of teamwork, accountability, and excellence.
