  • Communicate clearly with title curative staff, underwriters, attorneys, and clients. 
  • Work with underwriters to obtain special coverage and endorsements as needed. 
  • Maintain knowledge of title insurance regulations, state-specific requirements, and underwriting standards across different jurisdictions. 
  • Ensure timely delivery of title products within strict deadlines. 
  • Maintain detailed and up-to-date records in the title production system, documenting all actions and communications. 
  • Escalate complex issues to management or underwriter for resolution guidance. 
  • Consistently meet established service level agreements (SLAs), quality standards, and internal performance metrics. 
  • Assist with title production improvements and participate in training new examiners as needed. 
  • Other duties as assigned. Occasional overtime may be required to meet deadlines or close transactions. 
 
What You Need:
  • 3+ years of experience in title examination, preferably in a multi-state or national setting. 
  • Strong knowledge of real estate legal documents and title insurance underwriting. 
  • Ability to interpret legal descriptions, surveys, plats, and public records. 
  • Experience with Resware, title production software is a plus 
  • Excellent attention to detail, analytical, and problem-solving skills. 
  • Strong verbal and written communication abilities.
