Property Research Specialist

About Smooth Closing Smooth Closing is an Austin-based real estate investment company with a simple mission: buy homes directly from homeowners in a way that's fast, fair, and respectful. We've completed over 75 purchases per year and we're growing — which means we need reliable, detail-oriented people who are proud to do their part and do it well, every single day. The Role This is a full-time, in-office position at our Austin, TX office. As a Property Research & Outreach Specialist, your job is focused and meaningful: research property records to identify the owners of specific homes, find the best way to reach them, and have a friendly, low-pressure conversation to see if they'd be open to a conversation about selling. This is not a high-pressure sales role. There are no cold call quotas designed to make you scramble. Your job is to be thorough, consistent, and professional — day in and day out. What You'll Be Doing Your day will have a clear rhythm and structure. You'll use your computer and various research tools to locate property owners and their contact information, then reach out by phone or, in some cases, in person to introduce Smooth Closing and gauge their interest. Much of the work is systematic and process-driven — you'll get good at it quickly and settle into a routine that you can own. You'll be working closely with our small, tight-knit team, and your contribution directly fuels the company's ability to close deals. When the team hits its goals, everyone wins — and you'll feel that. You'll Thrive Here If You: Enjoy focused, structured work and don't need a lot of variety to stay engaged Take pride in being thorough and reliable rather than flashy or fast Are motivated by being a key part of a team and seeing the group succeed Prefer a steady, predictable paycheck over a commission-heavy rollercoaster Are comfortable doing similar tasks repeatedly and getting better at them over time Communicate in a friendly, natural way — no hard selling required Show up consistently and take ownership of your piece of the puzzle What You Don't Need No real estate experience is required. No sales background required. We'll train you on everything. What matters most is that you're dependable, coachable, and genuinely enjoy being part of something where your consistency makes a real difference. Compensation & Schedule This is a salaried, full-time position with a competitive base pay. The focus here is stability — we want you to know what to expect each payday so you can plan your life around it. Full-time, Monday–Friday In-office in Austin, TX Competitive base salary Part of a supportive, close-knit team About Working at Smooth Closing We're a small team that values people who show up, do their work well, and want to grow with the company over time. We're not looking for someone chasing the next big thing — we're looking for someone who wants to find a home on a team and build something together with us. #J-18808-Ljbffr
