• Draft, review, and interpret agreements—purchase contracts, leases, easements, loan documents, and more.
• Partner with internal departments, outside counsel, and external stakeholders to drive smooth, compliant closings.
• Deliver business-focused, practical advice that supports company initiatives and mitigates risk.

What You Bring

• J.D. and active U.S. license to practice.
• 3–8 years of commercial real estate experience (bonus points for title, underwriting, or heavy transactional exposure).
• Strong writing, analytical instincts, and communication skills.
• A proactive, solution-forward mindset with the ability to collaborate across teams.

Compensation, Schedule & Perks

• Base Salary: $130,000–$150,000 (DOE)
• Schedule: True 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | ~40 hours/week
• Hybrid: A few in-office days weekly
• Benefits: Full suite—medical, dental, vision, 401(k)
• Growth: Long-term stability and opportunities for advancement within a respected national organization

Why You’ll Love It Here

This is a rare chance to bring your commercial real estate experience in-house at a company that genuinely values balance, professionalism, and employee well-being. You’ll stay close to the heart of dealmaking—reviewing titles, resolving issues, and collaborating directly with business teams—without late nights or billable-hour demands.

If you’re looking for a role where your expertise matters, your ideas land, and your evenings stay your own, this could be your next great move.
