Job 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:

1. 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?
2. 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.

$25 - $40 hourly

What you will do

• Conduct occupancy verifications on REO and foreclosed properties — including door knocks and brief, professional conversations with occupants
• Complete property condition reports with detailed, client-specified photos and notes
• Put up and take down yard signs and lockboxes
• Rekey properties (we will train you)
• Post and deliver legal notices and documents to occupants, agents, and title companies
• Meet contractors and agents on site; occasionally stand by during sheriff lockouts or property cleanouts
• Pick up and deliver earnest money checks between the client and the title
• Complete every assignment within the client's required time window and to the client's specific reporting standards

What we are looking for (must-haves)

• Extremely detail-oriented — REO clients require specific photo angles, condition notes, and report formats. Small misses cost us contracts.
• Strict deadline discipline — when a client says 48 hours, it means 48 hours. No exceptions.
• Calm and professional in tense situations — able to have an awkward or sometimes hostile conversation without escalating, and the judgment to disengage and walk away when a situation calls for it.
• Comfortable driving any neighborhood in the KC metro, including areas some people find intimidating.
• Reliable vehicle, valid driver's license, current insurance, and a clean driving record.
• Smartphone with a good camera and high-speed internet at home.
• Comfortable with basic apps, email, and following structured reporting templates.
• Extremely reliable — you do what you say, when you say.

Bonus points

• Active Missouri or Kansas real estate license (additional showing and referral compensation available)
• Prior REO field experience, property preservation, process serving, code enforcement, or similar field work
• Experience as a runner, courier, delivery driver, or field rep
• Genuine interest in learning the real estate business
