What We Do

Escrow Assistant / Associate Escrow Officer
Build Your Career. Drive Real Transactions. Deliver Exceptional Experiences.
At First American, we’re transforming the real estate closing experience -bringing together high-touch service and modern technology to move faster, work smarter, and deliver for our customers.
We’re looking for an Escrow Assistant / Associate Escrow Officer in [Location] who is energized by a fast-paced environment, enjoys working with people, and wants to grow into a high-impact role.
This is not just a support position – it’s your opportunity to learn the business, take ownership, and build a long-term career in escrow.What You’ll Be Doing (Day-to-Day)

No two days are the same and that’s the point.

• Keep multiple real estate transactions moving from open to close
• Communicate with clients, agents, lenders, and partners-by phone, email, and in person
• Prepare and review documents, ensuring everything is accurate and complete
• Spot issues early and help solve them before they impact closing
• Manage deadlines, priorities, and details across several files at once
• Use systems and tools to stay organized and efficient

You’ll be in the middle of the action – helping bring deals across the finish line.

What We’re Looking For

• You stay organized and focused, even when things get busy
• You take ownership-you don’t wait to be told what to do
• You’re comfortable using technology and learning new systems
• You’re detail-oriented but can still move with speed
• You want a career-not just a job

Experience in escrow, real estate, financial services, or operations is helpful but not required for the right candidate.

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on experience in real estate transactions
• A clear path to Escrow Officer and beyond
• Exposure to industry-leading tools and technology
• A team that values performance, growth, and collaboration

What Sets This Role Apart

• High touch: you’ll work directly with clients and partners
• High impact: your work directly affects closing outcomes
• High growth: you’ll build skills that translate into long-term career advancement

The Future of This Role

The escrow professional of the future still wins on trust and relationships-
but operates with greater speed, stronger judgment, and smarter use of technology.

If you’re someone who:

• enjoys solving problems
• thrives in a fast-moving environment
• and wants to grow into a role with real responsibility

we want to meet you.
