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.
