📋 Description

• As a Pennsylvania Commercial Title Examiner (Remote) at First American Financial Corporation, you will play a vital role in ensuring the legal integrity of commercial and industrial real estate transactions by examining complex property titles, verifying ownership, and identifying potential title issues that could impact closing timelines or financial risk. Your work directly supports the company’s mission to provide accurate, secure, and efficient title services across its Mortgage Services, Commercial, Direct, and Agency divisions, enabling smooth closings for high-value transactions.
• You will manage a diverse portfolio of projects ranging from single-property examinations to multi-site commercial transactions requiring days or weeks of detailed analysis, where precision in interpreting legal descriptions, deeds, liens, easements, leases, and subleases is critical to establishing a clear chain of title and mitigating risk for clients and underwriters.
• You will search, examine, and connect data across multiple counties and jurisdictions, verifying legal property descriptions through careful reading, interpretation, and plotting, while summarizing findings into precise title commitments and reports that meet internal and regulatory standards.
• You will independently identify and resolve discrepancies or missing information in public records through meticulous research and documentation, collaborating with underwriters and internal partners to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and timely delivery of title work products.
• You will thrive in a fast-paced, detail-oriented, paperless environment, leveraging your expertise in Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat/Pro, property data platforms, and company systems to maintain high productivity while upholding the highest standards of quality and compliance.
• You will join a People First culture recognized for ten consecutive years on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, where diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just values but operational imperatives — fostering an environment where your unique perspective is valued, your growth is supported, and your contributions directly impact customer success and organizational excellence.
• You will develop deep expertise in commercial title examination, gaining exposure to complex property types, multi-jurisdictional title issues, and advanced title workflows — positioning you for advancement into senior examiner, team lead, or underwriting support roles within First American’s national title production network.

🎯 Requirements

• At least 3 years of directly related commercial title insurance experience in title searching, examining, and writing commitments, preferably in Pennsylvania or surrounding states.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat/Pro, internet navigation, and property data platforms, with the ability to quickly learn and adapt to company-specific systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to independently interpret complex legal documents, identify title defects, and resolve discrepancies through thorough research.
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, detail-driven, paperless environment while managing multiple concurrent projects.
• Clear, professional communication abilities with a customer service mindset, enabling effective collaboration with underwriters, clients, and internal teams.
• High school diploma or equivalent.

🏖️ Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) retirement plan with company match, paid time off (PTO), and paid sick leave.
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allowing employees to purchase company stock at a discount.
• Recognition as a Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® employer for ten consecutive years, with awards for being a top workplace for women, diversity, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and regional best places to work.
• Fully remote work arrangement offering flexibility and work-life balance without geographic constraints.
