We Put You First. It's in Our Title.

Funding Specialist

Remote (United States)   |   Full-Time   |   Title & Escrow

ABOUT FIRST SOURCE TITLE AGENCY

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in North Ridgeville, Ohio, First Source Title Agency is a national title and escrow provider licensed in more than 32 states with full national closing capability. We serve lenders, real estate professionals, buyers, sellers, and joint venture partners through a combination of advanced technology, secure online portals for real-time transaction tracking, and genuinely responsive service. We are SOC 2 compliant and RESPA adherent, and we invest continuously in staff training and customer education.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Funding Specialist ensures the accurate and timely disbursement of funds on every real estate transaction we handle. It is a high-trust, high-precision role — you are the last set of eyes on the money before it moves. The position demands meticulous attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and a solid working knowledge of real estate closing procedures and regulations.

This is a fully remote position. You will work closely with our closing, escrow, and accounting teams, as well as with lenders, settlement agents, and real estate professionals across the country.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Review and manage loan files. Examine funded loan files in detail to verify fees, closing conditions, and the accuracy of all calculations. Confirm that documentation conforms to company policy and applicable state and federal law.
• Disburse funds. Coordinate and execute the disbursement of all funds associated with each transaction — mortgage payoffs, taxes, insurance, recording fees, and related payments. Confirm wire instructions and check remittances, and ensure every disbursement complies with lender instructions and escrow requirements.
• Communicate and coordinate. Build working relationships with lenders, real estate agents, clients, and internal teams. Gather outstanding documentation, resolve discrepancies, and keep the closing process moving cleanly from balancing to funding.
• Manage deadlines and workload. Handle a high volume of transactions in a fast-paced environment, prioritizing effectively so that funding deadlines are consistently met.
• Maintain records and compliance. Keep accurate, complete records of all funding-related information and documentation, performing every duty in accordance with company policy and relevant state and federal regulations.
• Resolve and escalate issues. Identify and resolve funding-related problems, including account disputes and unresolved closures, escalating to management when appropriate.
•
