Description
Job Title: Real Estate Field Runner - REO Occupancy Checks & Foreclosure Field Work
Location: Kansas City metro - must be willing to drive the entire metro
Job Type: Part-time, ~15-20 hrs/week - Path to more hours
Pay: Per-task fees ($20-$50 depending on task type) with a flat surcharge for properties beyond 30 miles. Typical earnings $450-$700/week at our usual volume of 15-30 tasks/week. We provide all materials (cores, locks, signs). Additional pay for licensed Missouri or Kansas agents. The full pay schedule will be reviewed with the candidates we interview.
About the role
This is a critical role in our REO (Real Estate Owned) and foreclosure business. We need a dependable, extremely detail-oriented person who can drive the entire Kansas City metro, complete REO field tasks to strict client specifications and on tight deadlines, and handle occupancy checks on foreclosed properties - which sometimes means knocking on doors and having short, professional conversations with people who are not happy to see you.
This work is the lifeline of our foreclosure business, so attention to detail and follow-through are non-negotiable. If you are calm under pressure, take pride in nailing the details, and do not get rattled when a situation gets tense, you will do well here.
Our culture
We hire for fit. Our team runs on four values: Service, Integrity, Compassion, and Drive. The compassion piece matters here - many of the people you will meet on these doorsteps are having one of the worst days of their lives. We handle every interaction with respect, regardless of how the other side shows up.
How to apply
Apply through this posting and, in your message, please answer these two questions so we know you read the ad:
- What part of the KC metro are you based in, and are you genuinely comfortable driving the entire metro - including parts of the city that some people find rough?
- Tell us about a time you had to have a difficult or tense conversation with a stranger, or had to deliver news the other person did not want to hear. How did you handle it?
Applicants who answer both questions will be reviewed first. If you are a licensed agent, please mention your license and brokerage in your application.
Responsibilities
What you will do
• Conduct occupancy verifications on REO and foreclosed properties - including door knocks and brief, professional conversations with occupants
