We are seeking a detail-oriented and highly organized independent contractor to serve as a Closer / File Auditor to support our closing department and ensure seamless transaction processing. Position Summary The Closer / File Auditor is an independent contractor responsible for reviewing and auditing files after the pre-closing stage, balancing lender packages, reviewing settlement figures, verifying file accuracy, coordinating funding preparation, and ensuring all documents are complete for successful closings. This contractor role is essential in reducing attorney bottlenecks and helping maintain smooth and timely closing transactions. As a 1099 contractor, this individual will be expected to work with a high degree of autonomy and professional self-direction. Key Responsibilities Audit files thoroughly after completion of the pre-closing process. Review lender packages for completeness, accuracy, and compliance requirements. Verify settlement figures, fees, and closing calculations prior to closing. Review closing documents and settlement statements for accuracy. Ensure all required legal and lender documentation is properly completed. Coordinate funding preparation for scheduled closings. Identify and resolve discrepancies or missing documentation prior to final closing. Communicate with attorneys, lenders, title companies, processors, and clients regarding file status. Maintain organized and accurate file documentation throughout the closing process. Assist in reducing attorney workflow bottlenecks by proactively reviewing files. Ensure deadlines are met while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Review the title commitment to confirm all exceptions, requirements, and encumbrances have been properly addressed prior to closing. Verify that all payoffs are valid and will remain good through and beyond the scheduled closing date, including confirming per diem accuracy and payoff expiration dates. Verify that all names, vesting, and legal descriptions are spelled correctly and appear in proper order across all closing documents. Ensure all data is accurately entered into the closing management system and reconcile any discrepancies before the file is presented for attorney review. Required Qualifications Minimum 1-2 years of experience in real estate closings, title processing, mortgage processing, settlement coordination, legal administration, or file auditing. Prior experience working in a law firm, title company, mortgage company, escrow office, or real estate closing environment preferred. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail. Excellent communication and customer service skills. Ability to manage multiple files and deadlines simultaneously. Proficiency with document review, file management systems, and data entry. Ability to maintain confidentiality and professionalism at all times. Knowledge & Experience Requirements The ideal candidate should have knowledge of: Real estate closing procedures and settlement transactions. Reviewing lender packages and mortgage closing documentation. Settlement statements, escrow balancing, and funding procedures. Document verification and legal file auditing processes. Identifying discrepancies in financial figures and closing documents. Compliance procedures related to real estate transactions. Managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Working collaboratively with attorneys and closing teams to ensure timely closings. Ideal Candidate We are looking for a candidate who: Has exceptional attention to detail. Works efficiently under deadlines. Communicates professionally with clients and business partners. Takes initiative to identify and resolve issues proactively. Understands the importance of accuracy in legal and financial documentation. Is committed to helping create smooth and successful closings. Work Environment & Temperament Requirements At The Closing House, LLC, we operate with urgency, precision, and high expectations. Our environment is fast-moving and demanding — results are non-negotiable and timelines are tight. This is a role for someone who is not only professionally skilled but also mentally and emotionally equipped to perform under pressure. Our managing attorney leads with warmth and genuine investment in the team. However, when deadlines, clients, and case outcomes are on the line, communication becomes direct, expectations become non-negotiable, and performance is measured in real time. The transition between these modes is not gradual, and not everyone can navigate it effectively. Our office is structured for focused, independent work. Team members typically work in concentrated blocks of four to five hours. While we value camaraderie and our team takes moments to connect, the nature of the role requires the ability to arrive, put your head down, and execute without relying on social interaction to sustain your productivity. Candidates who require frequent social engagement throughout the workday to remain motivated may find this environment difficult. We are specifically looking for a candidate who: Does not conflate directness with hostility. Constructive urgency is a leadership style, not a personal attack. Maintains composure, professionalism, and output quality when the pace or tone of the environment accelerates. Can receive pointed, frank feedback in the moment and immediately redirect energy toward solving the problem. Does not shut down, become defensive, or require excessive hand-holding when expectations are communicated with force. Understands that high-functioning legal environments demand both relational warmth and uncompromising accountability — often within the same conversation. Has the self-awareness to distinguish between a difficult moment and an untenable situation, and the resilience to push through the former. Works independently and thrives in focused, head-down work environments without needing social interaction to sustain momentum throughout the day. If you thrive under structured pressure, take pride in delivering when the stakes are high, and have the psychological fortitude to work in a high-performance environment without taking the heat personally, this role was built for you. If you need a consistently gentle environment to perform at your best, this may not be the right fit. How to Apply Interested applicants should submit: Resume Professional References Relevant Experience Details Join The Closing House, LLC and become part of a professional team dedicated to excellence, accuracy, and seamless closing experiences for every client.
