Joining the Blueprint Title Team at PLACE
Blueprint Title is dedicated to providing a world-class closing experience that makes it the no-brainer title partner for all agents within the larger PLACE ecosystem. We are a fast-growing, technology-driven title company that fully embraces the PLACE team values: Grit, Results, Only Leaders, Wealth, Teamwork, and Humility.
As part of the PLACE family, you will be joining a unified team committed to empowering top real estate professionals and ensuring an exceptional experience for every client. The Escrow Officer is a pivotal role focused on providing a seamless and secure closing experience for all.
About the Role:
At Blueprint, Escrow Officers are more than transaction managers, they are trusted partners to real estate agents and their clients. This is a highly collaborative, team‑based role focused on delivering an exceptional closing experience while navigating complex, high‑volume pipelines across multiple markets.
As an Escrow Officer, you will own your files end‑to‑end while working closely with internal partners across title, operations, and client engagement to move transactions forward smoothly. You’ll be expected to think critically, solve problems quickly, and escalate issues with sound judgment, always with the client and agent experience top of mind.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast‑paced, multi‑market environment, works independently without losing sight of the bigger team, and brings strong organizational systems to stay ahead of their pipeline. You are proactive, detail‑oriented, and calm under pressure, with the ability to balance precision and urgency while delivering best‑in‑class service.
This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in ownership, enjoys collaborating across departments, and wants to help modernize the real estate closing experience through technology, transparency, and thoughtful communication.
