Attend and/or assist at residential closings, explain closing documents to clients in plain language, and ensure all parties sign and execute documents correctly
Coordinate closing logistics including scheduling, confirming wire instructions, and ensuring all conditions to closing are satisfied in advance
Serve as notary public for document execution at closings and as needed throughout transactions
Ensure proper recording and filing of deeds, mortgages, and other instruments post-closing

Post-Closing & Administrative Functions
