<p>No experience in title or real estate is required. We will teach you the business from the ground up.</p>
<p>This is a hands-on role where you will work directly alongside our Transaction Coordinator and gain real experience in how real estate closings actually work, including:</p>
<p>• Opening and managing real estate files<br>
• Assisting with closing coordination from contract to close<br>
• Client communication and transaction updates<br>
• Day-to-day operations of a growing title company<br>
• Exposure to closing software and real-world workflows</p>
<p>This is a great opportunity for a college student studying business, finance, real estate, or pre-law who wants meaningful, real-world experience instead of busy work.</p>
<p>You will not be making copies in the corner. You will be actively involved in transactions that matter.</p>
<p>If Firm Title TB continues to grow as planned, this role has strong potential to evolve into a full-time position.</p>
