Remote Administrative Assistant / Appraisal Data Entry

Job Type: Part-Time/Full-Time, Remote

Hours: Approximately 20--40 hours per week

Starting Pay: $12.00 per hour

Schedule: Monday--Friday

We are a busy residential real estate appraisal company seeking a dependable, organized, and detail-oriented Remote Administrative Assistant to assist with day-to-day office operations, client communication, scheduling, and appraisal data entry.

This is a remote position averaging approximately 20--40 hours per week. Because the real estate appraisal industry naturally experiences periods of higher and lower volume, some days will be busier than others. There may also be periods of downtime during the day when the phone is not ringing and all assigned tasks have been completed.

For that reason, this position offers a degree of day-to-day flexibility. As long as calls, emails, scheduling, and assigned tasks are handled promptly and professionally, there may be slower periods where less active work is required.

This position could be a great fit for a stay-at-home parent, someone with a flexible home schedule, or someone looking to earn additional spending money while working remotely. The ideal candidate should still be available and responsive during normal business hours and able to shift attention to work when calls, emails, or new appraisal assignments come in.

We are looking for someone who is professional, personable, and comfortable communicating with clients. The ideal candidate will have excellent phone etiquette, strong listening and customer service skills, attention to detail, and the ability to stay organized while managing multiple responsibilities.

Previous knowledge of real estate appraisal or appraisal report preparation would be beneficial, but it is not required. Training will be provided for appraisal-specific responsibilities.

Primary Responsibilities

• Answer and screen incoming business calls in a professional and personable manner
• Manage and respond to business emails
• Schedule appraisal appointments with homeowners, clients, real estate professionals, and other contacts
• Coordinate and organize the appraiser's daily inspection schedule
• Perform basic data entry within residential appraisal reports
• Review appraisal-related documents and enter relevant information into appraisal forms
• Enter property information from county records, MLS data, client documents, and other available sources
• Assist with organizing and maintaining appraisal files and supporting documentation
• Follow up with clients regarding scheduling, property information, documentation, and other administrative needs
• Assist with various general office, organizational, and administrative tasks as needed

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who:

• Is dependable, punctual, trustworthy, and professional
• Has excellent communication and customer service skills
• Has strong phone etiquette and is comfortable speaking with clients
• Is personable, patient, and a good listener
• Has excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Pays close attention to detail and accuracy
• Is comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Is self-motivated and able to stay productive without constant supervision
• Can prioritize multiple tasks and adjust as business needs change
• Learns new computer programs, systems, and procedures quickly
• Is comfortable using email, online platforms, and data entry systems
• Is available and responsive during normal business hours
• Is willing and interested in learning about the residential real estate appraisal process

Previous experience in real estate, appraisal, mortgage, title, customer service, office administration, scheduling, or data entry is helpful but not required.

Compensation & Growth Opportunities

The position starts at $12.00 per hour and is expected to average approximately 20--40 hours per week, although the workload may vary depending on appraisal volume.

As the employee becomes more proficient with appraisal data entry, learns additional aspects of the business, and takes on greater responsibilities, there may be opportunities for increased hours, expanded responsibilities, and increased compensation.

We are looking for someone who wants to become a dependable, long-term member of our growing appraisal business and who takes pride in providing excellent customer service and accurate, high-quality work.

Pay: $12.00 - $15.00 per hour
