Abstractor

About Brown Resource Group
At BRG, we run a no-BS title team. The model is simple: the person who does the work owns the work. Every abstractor researches, builds, signs, and stamps their own product and delivers it to the client under their own name. We review every product for formatting, scope, and completeness before it goes out — but we don’t re-abstract your work behind you. No babysitting, no diluted accountability.
And because our people carry the responsibility, they share in the upside — we profit share with our team.
That only works because we’re selective. We bring on abstractors whose work holds up on its own — people who don’t need a second abstractor checking their title.
About the Role
We’re hiring multiple experienced Oil & Gas Title Abstractors to join us remotely, specifically with West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and/or Ohio experience. These are senior-trust positions: your abstracts and title research go to the client under your own signature and seal. Our internal review covers formatting, scope, and a cursory quality check — the substance of the title work is yours, start to finish. If you take pride in delivering a finished product the first time, this role was built for you.
What You’ll Do
Research and examine public records — deeds, leases, court records, probate, tax, and related instruments — to establish a clear chain of title for oil, gas, and mineral interests.
Determine surface, mineral, and leasehold ownership, and identify defects, gaps, breaks in title, and potential adverse claims.
Produce complete, client-ready abstracts, run sheets, and ownership/mineral reports that stand on their own merit.
Sign and seal/certify your own work product, consistent with the certification and licensing requirements of your jurisdiction.
Interpret legal descriptions accurately — metes and bounds, PLSS, lot/block.
Flag curative requirements and document findings clearly for landmen, attorneys, and clients.
Manage your own workload and deadlines independently.
What We’re Looking For
Required:
Proven oil & gas title abstracting experience in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and/or Ohio, with a track record of delivering finished, client-ready product on your own.
The ability to sign and certify/seal your own work, properly credentialed for the jurisdictions where you abstract (depending on the state, that may mean a NALTEA Certified Title Abstractor designation, a notary commission, state landman registration, or other requirements).
Strong command of chain-of-title research, mineral/surface severance, and legal description interpretation.
A high degree of accuracy and self-accountability — your product goes out the door under your name.
A reliable remote setup and the discipline to manage your own pipeline.
Preferred:
Experience across two or all three of WV, PA, and OH.
Marcellus / Utica title experience.
Familiarity with curative work and adverse claim identification.
Existing relationships with county record sources, or experience with digital land-record platforms.
How We Pay
We believe the people producing the work should share in its value, so we profit share — and it’s worked very well for our team, at least for anyone not here to chill and bill. The majority of our abstractors are making between $2,000 and $6,000 a week, depending on their activity level and how much work they complete. You own your product end to end, and you’re rewarded accordingly. This is a model built for high performers who don’t need hand-holding.
