Location: 1516 N 5th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19122
Job Type: Full Time
What does a Title Insurance Processor do, anyway?
On a daily basis you will be responsible for managing your pipeline of open transactions. When a new order comes in, it will be assigned to one of our processors. If assigned to you, you will then be the main point of contact for the life of that file. Your work will start when the Title Commitment is generated and will end once the transaction has closed and disbursed.
Some basic responsibilities during the life a transaction that you will be responsible for are
• Work with all parties involved to make sure they have what is needed from a title standpoint. This includes lenders, realtors, attorneys, buyers/borrowers, and sellers.
• Examine the search and chain of title.
• Obtain all payoffs, documentation, or underwriting approval to clear the title commitment. A clearing service is available to help with this on some of the “messiest” files.
• Work with Lenders to build out the HUD/CD
• Navigate within our title production software (E-closing) to prepare all title documents and build the file
• Schedule and arrange for settlement
• Cut checks and disburse wires after closing
In plain terms, here’s what this usually looks like
Title Commitment
• When the title commitment is generated, you will send a templated video email to all parties involved introducing yourself as the processor and main point of contact for the file.
• Examining title is very important! Once the commitment is generated, you will check the chain of title to make sure vesting is correct, and that the search documents match with our file. All names must match, and spelling must be correct.
Clearance
• Depending on the Title Commitment, you will need to obtain payoffs, satisfactions, underwriting approval, etc. to clear the commitment in time for closing. We have a vendor called “TitleBox” who can help with the clearance on files if necessary. However, it expected that you know how to clear your own file independent of TitleBox.
Documents
• You will be required to prepare all closing documents within our software including deeds, affidavits, POA’s, Satisfactions, and anything required on that transaction.
• Once documents are signed at closing you will be responsible to examine them for accuracy
Closing
• If you are a licensed notary in PA, you are welcome to close your own in-office transactions if you wish. This is not required, but you will get the chance to collect the notary fees on that transaction if you close it.
Disbursing
• Once funding is approved and all documents and money have been received, you will be responsible to cut checks and initiate wires relative to that transaction.
Other things to Note
• Prior title processing experience is required. The only training that should be needed is for company specific procedures and software’s. It is expected and required that you understand the have the ability to perform the responsibilities above at the time of hire.
If this sounds like you, your previous education, work experience, and passions probably sound like this:
• High School degree or higher
• 3+ years of direct title processing experience
• A demonstrated ability of working and achieving goals in a team structure
• Enjoy the entrepreneurial nature of a small business. Your work and energy will directly influence the success of the company and the rest of the team
• Seen as someone who is passionate and dedicated to their work and a natural problem solver when it comes to people and industry.
• A hunger to do your best with a positive attitude. Work should not be viewed as a chore, it should be appreciated as an opportunity to learn and achieve
• Focused and ambitious to be apart of a growing team
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies
Lastly, here’s what success looks like in this position:
• 4-week training period to take on the previous processor work as well as learn our software’s and ways of doing business. We will also use this first 4 weeks as a chance to get familiar and friends with your teammates!
• Being able to handle a transaction pipeline of 40 files at any given time with the ability to close 30 files a month
• Always remain coachable so that you can learn and grow from mistakes. We celebrate our mistakes, which is why in order to succeed, you need to be able to take accountability for when a mistake is made so that we can address it and learn from it
• Create quarterly “rocks” or goals for what you want to achieve, learn, or get better at. These are up to you to determine and will be tracked weekly with your direct report.
• The ability to work well with others. If you are sick or on vacation, another processor will pick up your work for that time and visa versa. There is no I, we are all 1, and we all work toward the same common goal.
