• Research property ownership history and foreclosure records using county appraisal district data, deed records, public databases, and other available sources

• Locate and identify heirs, descendants, corporate officers, trustees, partners, nonprofit directors, and other parties with legal claims to excess proceeds

• Use genealogical databases including Ancestry.com and FamilyTree.org to trace family lineage and establish heir chains

• Conduct public records investigation using LexisNexis, Idicore, Westlaw, social media platforms, and other digital tools to locate individuals

• Analyze and verify the accuracy of gathered information, cross-referencing multiple sources to confirm identity and current contact information

• Prepare detailed research reports summarizing findings for use by the Sales Manager, Asset Recovery Specialists, and legal counsel

• Maintain accurate, organized records of all research activities and findings in Zoho CRM and other software platforms

• Collaborate with Senior Management, the Sales Department, and Legal Counsel to deliver accurate, well-documented research that supports successful client outcomes

• Stay current on Texas foreclosure law, excess proceeds recovery procedures, and best practices in public records investigation

Qualifications

• Background in property tax collection, mortgage servicing, foreclosure processing, title research, or a related field preferred — industry experience may substitute for formal degree

• Demonstrated ability to locate individuals and entities using public records, court databases, and online research tools

• Familiarity with Texas county appraisal district records, deed records, probate records, and foreclosure case filings

• Experience with genealogical research databases (Ancestry.com, FamilyTree.org) and skip tracing tools (LexisNexis, Idicore, Westlaw)

• Strong analytical skills — ability to connect fragmented data across multiple sources to reach accurate conclusions

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• High attention to detail, accuracy, and professional confidentiality

• Ability to work independently, prioritize multiple cases, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

• Tech-savvy with strong computer skills and comfort learning new research platforms
