Escrow Officer

Joining the Blueprint Title Team at PLACE

Blueprint Title is dedicated to providing a world-class closing experience that makes it the no-brainer title partner for agents across the PLACE ecosystem. We are a fast-growing, technology-driven title company that embraces the PLACE values: Grit, Results, Only Leaders, Wealth, Teamwork, and Humility.

As part of the PLACE family, you will be joining a unified team committed to empowering top real estate professionals and ensuring an exceptional experience for every client.

The Escrow Officer plays a pivotal role in delivering a seamless, secure closing experience while acting as a dedicated escrow partner to assigned PLACE real estate teams.

About the Role

At Blueprint, Escrow Officers are more than transaction managers — they are trusted partners to real estate agents and their clients.

This role is designed to provide dedicated escrow support to high-performing PLACE teams, ensuring consistency, communication, and operational excellence across their transactions.

As an Escrow Officer, you will manage files from opening through closing while working closely with internal partners across title, operations, and client engagement. You will also develop strong working relationships with the PLACE real estate teams you support, serving as a trusted point of contact throughout the transaction lifecycle.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment, brings strong organizational systems, and communicates proactively to keep transactions moving forward smoothly.

You are proactive, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure, with the ability to balance precision and urgency while delivering best-in-class service to agents and clients.

This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in ownership, enjoys collaborating across departments, and wants to help modernize the real estate closing experience through technology, transparency, and thoughtful communication.

This role is structured as an in-office or hybrid position, with a minimum of two days per week in office to support close collaboration with assigned PLACE teams and internal Blueprint partners. In-person presence helps strengthen relationships, improve communication, and ensure a consistent, high-touch closing experience.

In addition to managing transactions, this role also serves as a relationship owner for assigned PLACE teams, helping build trust, maintain service consistency, and ensure Blueprint remains a proactive and reliable partner within the team’s business.
