Description
Danilson Law, PLC • Full-time • $50,000 - $60,000 USD • Remote within Iowa
Most law firms hire paralegals to type. We're hiring one to talk to people.
Danilson Law is a six-person Iowa real estate law firm with 117 five-star Google reviews and a simple idea behind them: a real estate closing - one of the biggest financial moments in a person's life - should feel clear, secure, and handled. Our AI and automation systems take on more of the data entry every month. That's exactly why this hire matters: as the machines take the typing, the human work gets more human. We want the person clients remember.
What you'll actually do
- Be a voice clients trust. Mid-transaction check-in calls and video touchpoints, especially for our premium-tier clients - you're the person who calls before they have to wonder.
- Own client-experience moments we design together - welcome calls, closing-week coordination, post-closing follow-ups. This part of the role grows as you do.
- Produce title work from attorney-reviewed files: title commitments in Iowa Title Guaranty's CAP platform, and title opinions and document preparation in our first-class custom document-generation software - built in-house, by us, for exactly this work.
- Quality-check what our automation produces. As our systems take over document data entry, you take over judgment - reviewing machine-prepared documents for accuracy before they go out the door.
- Back up the team on document preparation and coverage when days get busy.
Who does well here
- You have real estate legal experience - a law firm or closing background. Iowa Title Guaranty experience is a real plus.
- You genuinely like talking with people, on the phone and on video. Not tolerate - like.
- You catch the transposed digit in a legal description AND remember the client's kid just started at Iowa State. Both matter here; we'll test for both.
- You live in Iowa (work from anywhere in it).
- Our three core values are the actual hiring bar: always be humble and kind. Be intentional with everything you do. Always tell the truth.
What we offer
- $50,000-$60,000 USD for full-time, based on experience. A flexible or reduced schedule is genuinely on the table for the right candidate.
- Remote work within Iowa, on a distributed team that closes at 2 p.m. on Fridays when we've earned it by serving clients well.
- A front-row seat to how a modern law firm automates - you'll work alongside the systems, not against them, and your job evolves toward the work only a person can do.
- A six-person team where every person is essential, valued, and growing. When the firm wins, the team wins.
