Lauren M.
Real Estate & Mortgage Closing Specialist | Data Research & CRM Mgmt
Hi, I’m Lauren—an experienced mortgage professional and administrative operations specialist with a strong track record of delivering accurate, organized, and deadline-driven support across real estate, finance, and executive teams. I’ve worked as a mortgage closer, funding coordinator, and executive assistant, and I’ve expanded into freelance roles supporting investors, consultants, and small business owners. In my most recent projects, I: • Led a comprehensive research initiative compiling mortgage overpayment and payoff policy data across dozens of U.S. lenders, verifying ACH/wire instructions and formatting client-ready reports • Created reusable research templates and data tracking systems to support financial analysis and ongoing client deliverables • Managed due diligence for real estate acquisitions, including title review, deed drafting, property vetting, and post-closing audits • Organized property records, tracked seller communication, and flagged legal or zoning issues before contracts were finalized Core strengths: • High-volume transaction coordination under strict deadlines • Structured, manual research and data entry with emphasis on accuracy • Document review and compliance with legal/financial standards • Workflow organization using tools like Google Workspace, Excel, Notion, Airtable, and DocuSign • Professional communication with attorneys, title agents, lenders, and team stakeholders I’m known for being dependable, precise, and resourceful—whether I’m reviewing closing docs, organizing project timelines, or troubleshooting roadblocks before they become delays. I thrive in roles that require calm under pressure, clear communication, and serious attention to detail. Outside of work, I’m a creative and curious soul who loves traveling, Pilates, cooking, and spending time with my husband and our slightly-too-pampered pets. I bring that same mix of structure and warmth to the work I do for my clients. If you need reliable support that’s thoughtful, fast, and thorough—I’m ready to jump in.
