Here at Hometap, we’re collaborative, passionate, and always ready to roll up our sleeves to create solutions that help people get more out of homeownership — and out of life. Our first product, a home equity investment, gives homeowners the opportunity to quickly access the equity they’ve built in their home to pay for what’s most important to them, from handling debt to finally making much-needed renovations, without taking on debt.  

We work hard, and have some fun along the way, too. You don’t have to take our word for it: The Boston Globe and Forbes have recognized us as a great place to work, and we’ve been honored for our commitment to innovation in the fintech space by Inc., HousingWire, and more! 

In case you need any more convincing, we also provide competitive compensation, healthcare coverage, unlimited PTO, a generous share package, and a strong culture with plenty of opportunities for team-building and camaraderie.

Interested in joining us on our mission to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible? We’d love to talk.

Who you are:

We’re seeking an efficient, organized, and self-motivated Default Paralegal to join the Hometap Default team. In this role you’ll have the opportunity to improve processes and collaborate directly with counsel and Investment Support team leaders. Investment Support is Hometap’s servicing function, and the Default Parlegal will work collaboratively to directly support the default and foreclosure processes. You’re a great fit for this role if you are an experienced paralegal with experience in default and/or foreclosure. You bring excellent organizational skills and a proven ability to quickly ramp-up, support multiple projects, learn new skills, and pivot in a fast-paced environment. This is a great role for you if you’re excited about process improvement, growing with an exciting fintech company, and supporting a small-but-mighty default team. 

What you'll do:

  • Assist Hometap’s default servicing team with matters related to bankruptcy, foreclosure, ownership changes, delinquent property taxes, new liens and deceased homeowners.
  • Conduct legal research and gather relevant information for bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings.
  • Partner with external counsel on bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings, including providing supporting documents, reviewing draft filings, and managing case timelines and updates.
  • Assist Hometap’s default servicing team with monthly reporting to investors.
  • Work with in-house and external counsel to support and respond to requests for information.
  • Collaborate closely with Hometap’s internal legal team on case management, including coordinating internal legal approval when applicable.
  • Attend and participate in all required meetings.
  • Streamline processes related to managing bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings, with a focus on reducing counsel cost.
  • Ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to default servicing.

What you bring:

  • 3+ years of relevant paralegal experience, including foreclosure and bankruptcy experience.
  • Experience working in either a default mortgage servicing setting or a foreclosure law firm, preferred. 
  • Comfort with ambiguity and ability to organize, prioritize, and manage multiple projects in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
  • Experience working with multiple teams and owning and driving projects from beginning to end.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, leading with empathy in all internal and external communications.
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Highly proficient in Microsoft Office and Google Suite.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and as part of a collaborative team.
  • Exemplary personal and professional integrity and business ethics.
  • Commitment to diversity and a respect for others.

Bonus Points:

  • Familiarity with home equity investments preferred
  • Notary preferred
  • Greater Boston location preferred
