• Order, prepare, and deliver closing packages efficiently, ensuring strict adherence to regulatory timelines and scheduled closing dates.

• Input, review, and reconcile final closing and settlement fees against vendor invoices.

• Distribute preliminary and final closing packages to settlement agents and Loan Originators.

• Prepare and submit wire/funding requests to warehouse banks or investors, audit executed closing packages, and officially authorize the release of loan proceeds.

• Resolve any post-closing trailing items swiftly to ensure the seamless sale of the loan on the secondary market.

What we are looking for:

• 3+ years of dedicated mortgage closing or related mortgage banking experience.

• Solid understanding of mortgage loan programs, documents, lending processes, and industry compliance/regulations. Functional knowledge of Encompass and document preparation vendor software.

• Proven track record of thriving in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment while meeting tight deadlines.
