Title & Escrow at HomeLight

Are you intrigued by the idea of redefining and creating the future of Title & Escrow and believe you have what it takes to run an expanding high volume, multi-state operation?

HomeLight is growing and expanding! We are a national company attracting a ton of attention (You may have seen us during the US Figure skating championships, as the main sponsor for the team). We are now looking to reinvent Title & Escrow. Currently we operate Title & Escrow in four markets, California, Colorado, Florida and Pennsylvania. This is your chance to join our Title & Escrow team at the ground floor and help us build the next generation of Settlement Services.

About the position 

We are looking for a title and escrow operational rockstar to scale us from 4 states of operations to the majority of the U.S. You will hire and manage a team of escrow officers and support personnel to deliver a revolutionary settlement experience that clients will actually enjoy.
