Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about a deal where a lien or judgment showed up late. How did you keep the closing on track?

What they are checking: Whether they stay calm under deadline pressure and solve curative issues instead of just reporting them.

How do you make sure your files and records stay complete enough that someone else could pick up a deal mid-stream?

What they are checking: Whether they keep documentation clean, which matters for audits, claims and team coverage on long transactions.

What would you do

You find an old recorded easement that cuts across the site the buyer plans to build on. How do you handle it with the customer and the underwriter?

What they are checking: Whether they can assess real risk from a recording and offer practical options like endorsements or curative work.

You're the main point of contact on a transaction with lenders, counsel and a seller all emailing you at once. How do you manage communication?

What they are checking: Whether they can keep many parties informed and organized so nothing gets missed on a complex closing.

About the work

Walk me through how you work through a title commitment on a multi-state commercial deal. Where do you start?

What they are checking: Whether they have a disciplined order for reviewing Schedule B requirements and exceptions on larger national files.

How do you handle an objection letter from buyer's counsel that asks you to remove a long list of exceptions?

What they are checking: Whether they know which exceptions can be removed, which need support, and how to say no clearly when needed.

What do you look for when reviewing a survey against the legal description and vesting deed?

What they are checking: Whether they can spot mismatches in boundaries or ownership that would create a claim after closing.

Explain what a proforma policy is and why getting it right before closing matters so much.

What they are checking: Whether they understand that the proforma sets the coverage terms everyone relies on, so errors become liability.

When a national underwriter conducts the closing, what do you check in the escrow instructions and the settlement statement?

What they are checking: Whether they can oversee another party's closing and catch funding or payoff mistakes before money moves.

How do you handle workshare invoicing on national files, and how do you make sure the split is right?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the business side of national title work and get premium splits recorded accurately.
