A clerk who keeps the title side of a closing moving.
What they do
- Track title commitments as they come in
- Follow up on outstanding title conditions until each one clears
- Maintain the documentation trail so the closing team knows what is outstanding and who owes it
- Work to current, state-specific checklists rather than to habit
Works with
Title companies. The clerk finds and documents an issue; the opinion on what a title defect means for the transaction is a legal call and stays onshore.
