Real Estate Transaction & Closing Specialist

About Us We empower companies we work with through substantial resources to foster long-term growth. And that empowerment comes from our people! We’re a team of skilled analysts, strategists, entrepreneurs, doers, thinkers, and creators, who are a support system for innovators.

Each day is a little different and each idea brings new opportunities. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, are curious to a fault, and want to join a team atmosphere with people who have a can-do attitude, The Premiere Group is the place for you—where innovation meets excellence. Position Summary The Real Estate Transaction Closing Specialist is an organized, detail-driven professional who keeps our commercial real estate transactions and development projects moving from behind the scenes.

This role sits at the center of our closing and development processes — tracking deliverables, following up on outstanding items, managing documentation, and ensuring that all internal teams and external parties stay on schedule. Working closely with the Finance team, inside counsel, and Treasury, the Specialist coordinates with a wide network of external partners — including title companies, lenders, engineers, architects, contractors, and government agencies — to obtain the information and documents needed to successfully close transactions and advance active developments. Success in this role comes from being proactive, persistent, and exceptionally well-organized rather than from being outward-facing or client-directed.
