In one sentence
The person who drives a loan from commitment to funding, running the checklist and coordinating every party.
The longer version
The closer is the deal's conductor: building the checklist from the loan documents, chasing items, coordinating counsel, title, and vendors, and getting to a clean funding. It is a coordination job at its core.
A closer's whole day is status: what is outstanding, who owes it, what changed. That is precisely the work a live shared checklist removes from the inbox.
In Prodeal
Closers run the whole request list with statuses and owners in one place, so the daily status chase becomes a glance instead of a round of emails.
