About The Position

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. 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.
