Digital Closer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Katz Durell, we believe that buying, selling, or investing in real estate should be an exciting milestone, not a stressful legal chore. As a premier, technology-driven real estate law firm headquartered in Atlanta, we pride ourselves on delivering highly responsive, modern, and seamless closing experiences for homebuyers, top-tier realtors, lenders, and investors across Georgia.

We are expanding our team and looking for a detail-oriented, energetic, and highly organized Residential Real Estate Closer to act as the primary quarterback for our transactions, ensuring a smooth process from the initial contract intake all the way to the closing table.

Position Summary

The Real Estate Closer is a vital role at Katz Durell. You will manage the closing pipeline from start to finish, acting as the primary point of contact for buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and lenders. You will collaborate closely with our pre-closing specialists, title examiners, and closing attorneys to prepare accurate settlement statements (ALTA/CD), coordinate funding, and deliver the top-notch customer service that our clients rave about.

Key Responsibilities

• File Management & Pipeline Ownership: Manage a high volume of residential (and occasional commercial) real estate files from contract execution to a successful closing.

• CD/ALTA Preparation: Review lender closing instructions to draft and balance Closing Disclosures (CD) and ALTA settlement statements.

• Title & Underwriting Coordination: Review title commitments, identify title issues (such as outstanding liens, judgments, or estates), and work proactively with our attorneys and title underwriters to resolve them.

• Stakeholder Communication: Maintain clear, prompt, and friendly communication with lenders, agents, buyers, and sellers regarding closing figures, wiring instructions, and scheduling.

• Document Preparation: Prepare all necessary legal transfer documents, deeds, affidavits, and closing packages in compliance with Georgia real estate laws and lender guidelines.

• Funding & Balancing: Balance the file ledger, coordinate the receipt of incoming wire transfers, and authorize the disbursement of closing funds.

• Quality Control: Review executed closing packages for accuracy and completeness before handing them off to the post-closing team for recording and final policy issuance.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Experience: Verifiable experience as a Residential Real Estate Closer or Real Estate Paralegal in a Georgia-based law firm or title company.

• Software Savvy: Proficiency in industry-standard real estate closing software (e.g., SoftPro, Qualia, or RamQuest). Experience with digital closing platforms is a major plus.

• Georgia Real Estate Knowledge: A strong understanding of Georgia real estate closing customs, title standards, and mortgage lending requirements (including TRID/RESPA guidelines).

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a customer-first attitude. You must be able to put anxious first-time homebuyers at ease and talk shop with seasoned real estate brokers.

• Organization: Incredible attention to detail and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced, high-volume environment without letting things slip through the cracks.

• Problem-Solving: A proactive mindset—identifying potential closing roadblocks (e.g., missing HOA letters, unreleased liens) early and taking the initiative to solve them.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience, with performance-based bonus opportunities.

• Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays.

• A collaborative, positive, and forward-thinking team environment with opportunities for professional growth.

• Modern office space in Sandy Springs with top-tier technology and tools to make your job easier.
