Mortgage Closer

Do you take pride in being the last set of eyes on a file before it funds?

Are you the kind of person who can't rest until every number ties out and every document is in order?

Do you thrive in a role where accuracy and follow-through are the whole job?

If you answered yes, we want to talk to you.

About Griffin Funding

Griffin Funding is a full-service mortgage lender licensed across the U.S. and committed to making homeownership more accessible. We're a VA Approved Lender and FHA Non-Supervised Lender with a reputation for speed, service, and doing right by our borrowers. Our team is performance-driven, collaborative, and growing — and we're looking for people who want to grow with us.

About the Role

The Mortgage Closer is the final checkpoint before a loan funds. You're responsible for preparing, reviewing, and balancing closing documents, making sure every file meets federal and state regulatory requirements, and coordinating with the teams and partners who get borrowers to the signing table. It's a detail-heavy role where precision, communication, and ownership directly affect whether a loan closes cleanly and on time.

Key Characteristics

•

Meticulous. You catch the thing everyone else missed. Typos, math errors, missing signatures - nothing gets past you.

•

Calm under pressure. Closings are time-sensitive. You keep your head when files get complicated and deadlines get tight.

•

A clear communicator. You can work with title, escrow, processors, and loan officers without drama, and you follow up until issues are resolved.

•

Takes ownership. The file is yours from document prep through funding. You don't wait for someone to tell you what's next.

•

Comfortable with regulation. You understand the rules that apply to mortgage closings and you treat compliance as part of the job, not a checkbox.

•

2+ years of mortgage closing experience

•

Working knowledge of federal and state mortgage regulations (TRID, RESPA, state-specific disclosure requirements)

•

Experience with LendingPad or a comparable LOS

Ability to manage multiple files at different stages simultaneously

Clear, professional written and verbal communication
