Hiring guide
What to check when hiring best escrow officers
Escrow Officers manage the financial and documentary close of property transactions, a role where precision, compliance, and calm under deadline pressure are non-negotiable. A single error can delay settlement, expose parties to financial loss, or create legal liability. The best candidates are meticulous, composed in high-stakes environments, and understand exactly what they're authorised to decide versus what requires escalation.
Settlement transaction volume and complexity
Ask how many transactions they managed simultaneously in their last role and the range of transaction complexity, residential, commercial, refinances, multi-party arrangements. Volume and complexity together reveal the real scope of their experience.
Regulatory and compliance knowledge
Escrow is regulated at state or territory level and intersects with AML/CTF obligations, trust account requirements, and real property legislation. Ask for specific regulatory knowledge relevant to your jurisdiction and for examples of compliance issues they've identified and managed.
Dispute and discrepancy handling
Settlement rarely proceeds without at least one issue, a title encumbrance, a missing document, a funds shortfall, or a party dispute. Ask for a specific settlement that nearly didn't close and how they resolved it.
Trust account and funds management
Ask how they've managed trust account reconciliations, daily, weekly, end-of-month, and for an example of a discrepancy they found and resolved. Trust account accuracy is both a regulatory obligation and a fiduciary responsibility.
Must-have skills
Red flags to watch for
Trust account management described as informal or unsupervised
No PEXA or electronic lodgement platform experience
AML/CTF compliance treated as a formality rather than a substantive obligation
Cannot describe a settlement complication they personally resolved
Regulatory knowledge is vague, cannot name the relevant legislation for their jurisdiction
No experience with commercial or complex multi-party settlements
PEXA proficiency is now a baseline expectation in Australian property transactions
Electronic settlement via PEXA has become the standard in most Australian jurisdictions. Candidates without PEXA experience will require structured onboarding before they can manage settlements independently, factor this into your timeline. Candidates who've managed high-volume PEXA settlements are significantly more productive from day one than those transitioning from paper-based conveyancing workflows.
Interview questions
"Describe the most complex settlement you've managed. What made it complex and how did it close?"
Complexity reveals depth, straightforward transactions don't test escrow officer skills meaningfully.
"Tell me about a settlement that was at risk of falling over on the day. What was the issue and what did you do?"
Day-of-settlement crisis management is the highest-pressure scenario in the role, real examples reveal composure and resourcefulness.
"How do you manage trust account reconciliation, and what's your process when something doesn't balance?"
Trust account accuracy is a fiduciary and regulatory obligation, this tests process rigour and escalation instinct.
"How do you stay current with changes to property legislation or electronic lodgement requirements in your jurisdiction?"
Regulatory currency is an ongoing obligation in a heavily regulated role.
Hiring models
Ways to hire a best escrow officers
Every model has trade-offs. Here's how they compare so you can choose the right fit for your team.
General options
Local full-time
Hire directly in your city. Full cultural alignment and in-office presence, but the talent pool is limited and salaries are high.
Freelancer
Engage on a task or sprint basis. Fast to start, but loyalty is low and availability is never guaranteed long-term.
Dev agency
Hand off a scoped project to an agency. Good for defined deliverables, but you pay a premium and own very little of the relationship.

Client stories
What our clients say
Trusted by companies worldwide.
The flexibility and cultural fit made a huge difference. It wasn't just about filling seats - it was about finding the right people.
Nick Maait
Head of Engineering, Butn
Have a chat with Teamified. You will get a sense that it's much more of a relationship situation where they're really wanting to understand your business, as opposed to a more transactional experience, which is what we found talking with some other providers. The good thing is, there's a team behind you if you pick the right partner to help.
Ryan Ebert
Founder and CEO, Innings
