*Location:* Bluffton, South Carolina (on-site)
*Firm:* Butler & College, LLC
*About Butler & College*
Butler & College is a leading Lowcountry firm focused on real estate law and estate planning. We’re known for exceptional client service and long-term relationships across the community. As we grow, we’re adding a Real Estate Attorney to our Bluffton office.
*The Opportunity*
This is a dual discipline opportunity! We need immediate assistance with closing coverage, but we would like to cross-train an individual in Estate Planning and Probate as well. As you cultivate your own book of business through meaningful mentorship, you would be able to continue practicing in multiple disciplines or choose to focus solely on Real Estate or Estate Planning.
To start, you’ll conduct residential real estate closings from contract to funding and provide legal support to our real estate and estate planning clients. Once the basics of real estate are mastered, we will begin to cross train for Estate Planning and/or Probate.
The role is ideal for an attorney who thrives in a client-facing, detail-heavy practice and enjoys collaborating with agents, lenders, and internal teammates.
*What You’ll Do*
* Lead all aspects of real estate closings: contract review, due diligence, title review, clearing issues, document preparation, settlement statements, and funding.
* Advise clients throughout the transaction; communicate clearly with buyers/sellers, agents, lenders, and other stakeholders.
* Identify and resolve issues impacting title, payoff, HOA/condo matters, and lender requirements.
* Stay current on South Carolina real estate laws, recording requirements, and local practices.
* Support related estate planning or probate matters as needed.
* Maintain accurate files, deadlines, and checklists to ensure smooth, timely closings.
*What You’ll Bring*
* Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.
* Active license in South Carolina (in good standing).
* 1+ years of experience in real estate transactions preferred; estate planning exposure a plus.
* Exceptional client service, responsiveness, and professional communication.
* Strong organization and analytical skills; accuracy under deadlines.
* Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
