Overview
Real Estate Closing & Legal Coordinator Jobs in Atlanta, GA at Maven HR Advisory Group
Real Estate Closing & Legal Coordinator Edwards Law, LLC — Buckhead, Atlanta, GA Hybrid, in-office required. This is not a remote position.
ABOUT THE SCHEDULE — PLEASE READ FIRST
This role starts part-time and becomes full-time.
The first two weeks are variable part-time hours for training on the firm’s process. After that, the role moves to full-time, with the pace of that transition based on the firm’s business need and the Coordinator’s ability to carry the work independently. Progress is discussed directly through structured check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days.
Candidates who require a guaranteed full-time schedule beginning on day one may find this is not the right fit.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Edwards Law is a boutique real estate, estate planning, and probate practice in Buckhead. The firm is seeking an experienced Real Estate Closing & Legal Coordinator who thrives in a fast-paced residential closing practice and takes pride in accurate, organized work.
Residential real estate closings are the primary focus of this position. During seasonal lulls in closing activity, the Coordinator supports similar work across estate planning and probate matters — document preparation, data entry, and client intake.
This position frequently operates as the only non-attorney staff member in the office. The firm provides as much training as needed to learn its process — and once learned, the Coordinator is trusted to run with it. This role is built for a self-starter who takes initiative, keeps files moving without being asked, and does not require day-to-day management.
As the firm grows, there is a clear path to Lead Coordinator and, eventually, a management role.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Coordinate residential real estate closings end to end — scheduling, document preparation, and pre- and post-closing tasks
- Prepare and review ALTA Settlement Statements and closing documents for accuracy
- Order and track payoffs, HOA letters, and lien payoff statements
- Review title commitments and coordinate lender closing requirements
- Manage client intake and communication with buyers, sellers, agents, and lenders
- Support estate planning and probate matters during closing lulls
- Maintain organized, audit-ready files across all active matters
- Be present and reliable on closing days, some scheduled on short notice
QUALIFICATIONS
Required:
- Experience with Qualia or similar closing software
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Adobe Acrobat
- Experience reviewing settlement statements
- Comfortable coordinating multiple files at once
- Strong written communication
- Excellent attention to detail
Preferred:
- 2+ years residential real estate closing experience
- Georgia Notary Public, or ability to obtain within 90 days
- Georgia residential real estate experience
- GAR contract familiarity
- Title commitment and lender coordination experience
- HOA coordination and payoff processing
- Wire disbursement experience
SCHEDULE AND WORK ENVIRONMENT
Monday through Friday within a 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM window, based at the firm’s Buckhead office at 3355 Lenox Road NE.
This is not a remote role. The Coordinator is expected on-site 2 to 3 days per week and in person on every closing day, some of which are scheduled on short notice. Because this position often operates independently in the office, consistent attendance and self-management are essential and are treated as conditions of employment.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
- $22.50 to $25.50 per hour, commensurate with experience
- Starts part-time and transitions to full-time as described above
- Nine paid holidays
- Health insurance eligibility after the 90-day probationary period, with the firm contributing 50% of the employee-only premium up to $250 per month
- Edwards Law will sponsor the Georgia notary commission for a strong candidate
- Clear advancement path toward Lead Coordinator and management
SELECTION PROCESS
Qualified applicants participate in a structured interview process that includes a practical skills assessment reflecting the day-to-day work of the position — closing coordination, organization, attention to detail, and prioritization. There is nothing to study for.
