REAL ESTATE CLOSING PARALEGAL/ KIM AND BAGWELL, LLC/MAY 2018
I oversee the pre-closing and post-closing of real estate transactions. Pre-closing includes scheduling closings, speaking/coordinating with clients, agents, lenders and more. I order title searches as well as order any payoffs/ verify liens, and obtain any other documentation needed for the closing. I am responsible for making sure closings happen on time. I obtain any and all information needed for the transaction as well as prepare documentation for closings such as deeds, affidavits, and similar. I also handle post-closing which includes sending closing documents to lenders, deeds to be recorded and other documentation to where it belongs. I also maintain files and file all documents in our company database. I have recently been getting trained on imputing title information into our closing software and sending the title binders to lenders.
PARALEGAL/OFFICE MANAGER | J. DOUGLAS PARKS, P.C. | NOVEMBER 2015-MAY 2018
My firm was the City Attorney’s office for the City of Dahlonega, we are also the Solicitor for the City. I started at this firm as a paralegal and worked my way up to head paralegal/office manager. I was responsible for preparing and filing legal documents, managing calendars, and speaking with clients. I
preformed legal research to help solve problems and answer questions. I helped to write and have city ordinances approved and put into action. I prepared wills and attended executions with supervision. I handled all accident paperwork/discovery for a large trucking company we represented. I also helped with municipal court when needed. I assisted in real estate closings, prepare deeds, and gather documentation for said closings. I work closely with one attorney in office and many “of counsel” to assure that our firm runs smoothly and efficiently.
