About the Company

Our client is a specialized US real estate investment firm focusing on off-market, high-equity acquisition strategies. Rather than relying on broad direct-mail or cold-calling blasts, they execute an extreme "sniper" approach to property prospecting.

Their core business model centers on finding complex heirship properties—specifically targeting vacant homes, tax-delinquent real estate, and estates where heirs have a disconnected interest in the asset. They purchase fractional interests from willing heirs, locate co-heirs, and resolve title/probate challenges to buy properties at a deep discount and unlock substantial equity.

They are looking for a sharp, highly analytical Real Estate & Heir Property Researcher to work directly alongside the founder every day. This is an execution-heavy, research-dense role for someone who thrives on digital detective work, connecting loose ends, auditing public records, and identifying high-yield off-market opportunities.

Role Overview

The Off-Market Real Estate & Heir Property Researcher will serve as the engine of the firm's acquisition strategy.

Approximately 85% of the role focuses on direct investigative research (probate searches, title abstracting, genealogy tracking, valuation audits, and county court portal lookups), with 15% focused on data logging, sheet management, and daily syncs with leadership.

The ideal candidate can take a raw property address, a tax-delinquent lead, or an estate notice and independently map out the property's true value, legal ownership structure, chain of title, and all surviving heirs.

This includes:
* Filtering tax-delinquent and vacant property lists against strict equity criteria ($150k+ as-is value)
