Our client buys houses directly from homeowners throughout Greater Houston. They help sellers who need a practical, no-drama way to sell without repairs, showings, agent commissions, or the uncertainty of a traditional listing. Their team works with homeowners facing real-life situations: inherited properties, foreclosure pressure, expensive repairs, difficult tenants, divorce, relocation, probate, financial stress, or houses that simply need too much work for the retail market. This is a growing, reputable real estate investment company that’s been in business for 6 years. They have strong marketing, steady inbound lead flow, and a proven sales process. They are not looking for someone to “figure out how to get leads.” They already have leads. They need the right closer, ASAP. WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS: Our client’s acquisitions team is at capacity. Marketing is working. Lead management is working. Seller appointments are being set. The current team is already converting deals, but there are more qualified seller opportunities than one acquisitions rep can handle well. That creates a bottleneck. The business needs a Houston-based acquisitions closer who can run in-home appointments, build trust fast, make smart offers, follow up hard, and turn qualified seller conversations into profitable signed contracts. The person who wins here is not just “good with people.” They are competitive, emotionally intelligent, money-motivated, coachable, organized, and comfortable being measured by results. This is a high-upside seat for someone who wants their income tied directly to their production. WHAT YOU’LL OWN:1. Turn Qualified Seller Appointments Into Signed Contracts You will own the conversion from attended seller appointment to signed purchase agreement. That means you know how to sit across from a homeowner, understand their situation, ask direct questions, uncover motivation, handle objections, make a clear offer, and ask for the agreement when the deal makes sense. This is not order-taking. This is consultative, high-trust, high-skill selling. Success means homeowners feel respected, the company buys deals at the right numbers, and strong opportunities do not die because of weak closing or lazy follow-up. 2. Run In-Home Appointments Across Greater Houston You will drive to seller appointments throughout Houston and surrounding areas. Some appointments will be close. Some will not. Houston is big, and this role requires someone who can manage their schedule, plan their routes, show up prepared, and stay productive even when drive time is part of the job. At each appointment, you’ll inspect the property, gather photos/videos, understand the seller’s situation, identify decision-makers, evaluate the property condition, and leave with a signed contract or a clear next step. The best person for this role is sharp in the living room, strong in the driveway, and disciplined after the appointment. 3. Underwrite Deals and Present Offers With Confidence You do not need to be a real estate expert on Day 1, but you do need to be sharp with numbers and willing to learn quickly. You’ll be trained to evaluate property condition, repair needs, resale value, seller motivation, risk, and offer strategy. You’ll learn the company’s underwriting process and build the judgment to make strong offers that help sellers while protecting company margin. Over time, you’ll become confident explaining offers, defending numbers, and negotiating terms without sounding scripted or pushy. 4. Own Follow-Up Until There Is a Clear Outcome Most sellers do not sign the first time they talk to you. It takes, on average, 16 touches before a seller is ready to sign a contract. So the money is in the follow-up. You will manage your assigned opportunity pipeline, keep clean notes in the CRM, set next steps, follow up through calls/texts/email, and make sure high-value sellers do not go cold because you got busy or disorganized. If a seller is close to making a decision, you own the next move. No ghosting. No loose ends. No “I forgot to follow up.” 5. Represent the Brand With Professionalism and Empathy This company works with homeowners who may be under real pressure. Many are dealing with foreclosure, family conflict, inherited homes, costly repairs, tenants, divorce, or financial strain. You need to be empathetic enough to earn trust and direct enough to close. The wrong person acts like a transactional salesperson. The right person makes sellers feel heard, explains their options clearly, and still has the confidence to ask for the contract when the deal is right. WHAT YOU’LL DO: You will:Run in-person seller appointments across Greater HoustonBuild rapport with homeowners and uncover motivation, timeline, property condition, price expectations, and decision-making processInspect properties and gather photos, videos, notes, and key deal detailsCalculate offer ranges using the company’s underwriting processPresent cash offers and negotiate purchase agreementsHandle objections around price, repairs, timing, uncertainty, and competing optionsFollow up consistently until there is a yes, no, or clear future stepKeep the CRM updated with notes, tasks, statuses, and follow-up datesWork closely with lead managers, leadership, transaction coordination, and dispositionsAttend team huddles, pipeline meetings, sales training, roleplays, and coaching sessionsReview calls/appointments and apply feedback quickly YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS ON THE JOB:Days 1–30: Learn the System You’ll complete onboarding, sales training, real estate basics, CRM training, appointment process training, and shadowing.
