Title Examiner cover letter example

Prairie State Title Agency

Dear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my interest in the Title Examiner position at Prairie State Title Agency. With my background in examining chains of title, retrieving recorded instruments, and preparing title commitments across the Chicago metropolitan area, I am eager to contribute thorough and timely title examination to your production team.

In my current role as a Junior Title Examiner at Calumet Title & Settlement Services, I examine chains of title for residential resale and refinance transactions in Cook and DuPage counties. My day-to-day responsibilities include identifying recorded liens, encumbrances, and municipal assessments, as well as retrieving deeds, mortgages, easements, and chancery court records through county portal databases. Additionally, I draft formal title commitments detailing standard exceptions and Schedule B requirements, while collaborating directly with escrow officers and closing agents to clear curative defects such as unreleased mortgages and tax sale redemptions.

Prior to this, during my title search internship at Heritage Abstract Solutions, I conducted tract and grantor-grantee index searches across recorder archives to verify 30-year ownership histories. I routinely verified legal descriptions and subdivision plats against recorded metes and bounds descriptions to ensure accurate documentation. Furthermore, my academic foundation in Legal Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago and practical project work analyzing legacy parcels with fragmented metes and bounds descriptions have reinforced my attention to detail in title verification.

Prairie State Title Agency's commitment to rigorous title clearance and dependable turnaround aligns with my standard of practice. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my examination experience and familiarity with local land records can support your underwriting workflow. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Jordan Avery
