Description

Description As a Multifamily Closer, your primary responsibility is to facilitate the closing of Investment Real Estate loans, including bridge, construction, and line-of-credit transactions. You will also collaborate with Agency Closers (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD) on complex deals. At Merchants, no two transactions are alike—we tailor financing solutions to meet our customers’ unique goals. If you thrive working independently, enjoy solving complex challenges, and aren’t someone who simply “checks the box,” we encourage you to apply today! Requirements Monitor and track insurance reviews with internal teams and consultants to ensure compliance with bank requirements. Coordinate with the Bank’s legal representatives to schedule loan closings and collect required closing items from borrowers, internal teams, and legal counsel. Prepare settlement statements that reflect loan committee approvals, accurately capturing equity contributions, loan disbursements, and third-party payments. Arrange loan fundings, including requesting funds from the appropriate warehouse lender. Work closely with legal counsel to prepare, review, and finalize loan documentation. Review title and survey comments from legal counsel and follow up on outstanding items as needed. Gather required documentation to spread, process, and approve initial construction draws. Support origination and underwriting teams in clearing loan committee stipulations. Issue loan commitments and confirmations when applicable. Coordinate loan delivery packages with underwriting and outside counsel. Deliver completed permanent loan files to servicing, construction servicing, and asset management teams. Perform other duties as assigned. Experience & Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in real estate, finance, business administration, or a related field. (Four years of relevant experience may substitute for a degree.) Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook. Demonstrated ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and collaborate effectively with internal teams to close loans efficiently. Demonstrated capability to manage high-pressure environments and handle stressful situations with a calm and solutions-oriented mindset. Strong customer service skills—both in person and through electronic and phone communication. Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail. Ability to think critically, multitask, and manage competing priorities. Strong preference for prior experience in real estate (single-family or multifamily) and/or LIHTC, banking, FHA HUD, or Agency lending. Pay Range The total compensation pay range for new hires in New York City is $120,000 - $140,000 annually. This range includes a base pay, plus an annual discretionary bonus. The amount of any actual bonus may vary and is subject to individual and company performance. Please note that the pay range provided is a good faith estimate of total compensation for the position at the time of posting. Actual total compensation will be dependent on factors, including but not limited to, the individual’s qualifications, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
