About The Position

Auction.com is seeking a part-time Associate Auction Coordinator centered around Houston, Texas. The coordinator represents the company at live real estate auctions, traditionally held on courthouse steps, by conducting, co-hosting, and participating in auctions. The role involves interacting with bidders, completing the processes needed to successfully run auctions, and educating customers about how to participate. Auction work takes place at event locations rather than in an office and may require travel to surrounding areas.

Training pay is $20 per hour. Pay increases incrementally after successful completion of positional training and as skills, proficiency, and responsibilities develop, with a stated range of $20–$30 per hour. Monthly auction assignments depend on scheduling needs, so the role requires a flexible and adaptable schedule. Auction days typically involve 2–8 hours of work; average monthly work is 6–12 hours, but hours fluctuate and are not guaranteed. Required training sessions, administrative tasks, and other opportunities to improve skills may provide additional compensated work.

The territory is centered around Houston, and travel to auctions may involve driving 2–4 hours to surrounding areas. Personal mileage over 40 miles per day is reimbursed. A rental car may occasionally be provided for travel beyond two hours, based on projected mileage. Travel needs may vary according to scheduling opportunities and skill set.
