Real Estate Operations & Research Assistant

Job Overview:

I’m a real estate investor focused on acquiring properties through auction in Georgia and expanding into Texas. I’m looking for a long-term virtual assistant who is not only detail-oriented and proactive, but also has the potential to grow into a team lead role.

You’ll start by supporting key operational and research functions such as market research, outreach, and data organization. As we scale, you’ll help build workflows, train new VAs, and take ownership of key parts of the business. This is a rare opportunity to be part of the foundation of a growing real estate operation. You do not need to know real estate — I will provide training for the tasks and tools we use.

Important: Our busiest period is the last 1–2 weeks of each month, tied to auction cycles and due diligence. You must be available and responsive during this window.

Initial Responsibilities:

Research tax sale processes, property info, and county-level rules
Conduct outreach to title companies and government offices (phone/email)
Organize property data in spreadsheets and follow structured research workflows
Clean and format auction lists in Excel or Google Sheets
Track tasks, organize findings, and summarize insights clearly
Growth Path & Future Responsibilities:

Improve and maintain SOPs and internal workflows
Train and screen new VAs as we expand
Oversee task quality and ensure deadlines are met
Own internal documentation and progress tracking
What I’m Looking For:

Excellent English (both written and spoken) — must be comfortable on the phone
Detail-oriented and able to follow processes precisely
Strong with Google Sheets, Excel, and online research
Comfortable learning tools like Notion and ChatGPT (training provided)
Independent but communicative — asks the right questions and stays organized
Bonus: experience in real estate, skip tracing, or managing other VAs
Schedule & Availability:

Starts at 10–20 hours per week, will increase over time
Must be available during US business hours, especially end-of-month peak weeks
Long-term commitment preferred — we’ll invest in your growth

To Apply:

Please submit the following:

A short written introduction about your background and why you’re a great fit
A brief voice recording introducing yourself
Your hourly rate in USD
Completion of the sample task below (Google Sheet or Doc is fine)
Screening Assignment (15–30 minutes):

Please complete the short task below as part of your application. This helps us evaluate your attention to detail, research skills, and communication style. You may use Google or official websites — just be accurate and concise.

Task 1: County Research

Research Harrison County, Texas and answer the following:

What type of tax sale is conducted there (tax deed or tax lien)?
What is the redemption period, and under what condition does it apply?
Provide the direct link to the county’s official page or PDF that supports your answer (not a third-party site).
Submit in 2–3 bullet points.

Task 2: Title Company Search

Find one title company in Harris County, TX that offers escrow services. Then answer:

Company name, website, and phone number
Does the website mention a specific escrow officer or email address?
If you were to call this company, write one sentence you’d use to ask for an escrow officer’s email.
Keep your sentence polite, brief, and professional.
