Escrow Officer Team Lead

2 weeks ago

Palmyra, United States The Ladders Full time
Today the real estate closing process is confusing, complex, and filled with unfair costs to the consumer. These consumers are left without an advocate, nor do they feel like they know enough about the process to advocate for themselves. To make things worse, the real estate industry has been slow to deliver a customer-first experience or cost-saving automation, and homebuyers and sellers are left with piles of paperwork and fees they don't understand. At Empora, we're a team of technologists and real estate experts passionately delivering transparency, ease, and equity to this outdated, $36 billion industry.

Our team is deeply connected to our mission of making the closing process fair, transparent, and empowering. We believe in fast delivery, smart implementation, and constant iteration to solve problems and delight customers. Empora team members enjoy significant autonomy while making meaningful impact through innovative technical solutions, and give individuals the power to drive their own projects and results. If you're energized by the impact you can make at Empora, we'd love to talk to you
Location: Florida (Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Jacksonville) Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh, Philadelphia)

The right person for the role knows that delays and errors wreak havoc on a deal, so they are meticulous with every detail and strive for the highest level of accuracy, while keeping the deals moving quickly.
