Title Updates Specialist – Illinois Real Estate

Production Manager | Title Insurance Expertise

About the Role

This is not an entry-level position.

Our Title Updates group handles post-commitment, pre-closing, and in-closing changes on Illinois real estate files. The work requires independent judgment, strong knowledge of Illinois title insurance practices, and the ability to manage time-sensitive requests in a fast-paced production environment.

If your background includes hands‑on Illinois title work and you’re comfortable making decisions that directly impact closings, this role may be a strong fit.

• 3+ years of direct experience working with Illinois real estate title insurance files
• Hands‑on experience in Title Updates, Examining, or equivalent title production roles
• Customer‑facing experience handling internal and/or external title requests
• Ability to independently review recorded documents and supporting materials
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
• Comfort working in a high‑volume environment with last‑minute changes

Candidates who do not meet these minimum qualifications will not be considered.

• Reviewing and approving surveys, encroachments, and related exceptions
• Reviewing authority documents (LLCs, corporations, trusts) to determine signing authority
• Reviewing and approving Powers of Attorney
• Resolving complex title issues, including re‑examining files when parcels, vesting, or prior requirements change
• Clearing or raising title items based on recorded documents and provided support
• Processing standard update requests (CPLs, endorsements, purchase price or loan amount changes, name corrections)
• Updating commitments for new buyers and running name searches when required
• Reviewing PIA and judgment matters for clearance or exception placement
• Reviewing trust documents, successor trustees, and trustee authority
• Processing tax updates and later‑date updates prior to closing
• Performing light re‑exams for missed mortgages, releases, deeds, or vesting issues
• Communicating with internal teams and external customers in time‑sensitive situations

Experienced examiners are encouraged to apply provided they have prior customer‑facing experience and are comfortable responding to time‑sensitive title requests.

This role requires practical Illinois title knowledge and sound judgment.

If your experience is primarily administrative, data‑entry focused, or outside of Illinois title insurance, this position will not be a good fit.

Title Updates is often the final checkpoint before closing. The decisions made in this role directly impact transaction timelines, customer experience, and risk. We are looking for professionals who are confident in their title knowledge and accountable for their work.
