I have worked as a paralegal in real estate for eight years in Florida and several more in Maine. It is rewarding to assist people with their residential closings and commercial closings are challenging. Knowledge of real estate closings, organizational skills, calmness, and ability to interact with people are assets I possess. I have also had experience in other areas of law such as corporate work, which is sometimes helpful in the real estate work.
