• Review and populate a large volume of transactional documents (e.g. listing agreements, amendments, purchase agreements, closing documents) for accuracy and signatures based on guidelines and templates
• Communicate with internal and external parties to ensure that each transaction is handled with the same focus and energy as it if was your own
• Oversee and audit deal folders within our cloud-based storage system to ensure all transaction-related documents are accurate and properly filed
