Acquisitions Manager

What You'll Do

• Run Comps and Repair Estimates: Pull recent sold comparables, adjust for condition from seller photos, and land on a maximum offer your client will stand behind.
• Present the Offer: Explain the number, the timeline, and what a cash close actually removes for the seller, without hiding the parts they will dislike.
• Negotiate Price and Terms: Trade on closing date, possession, and repairs when the price itself will not move, and know your walk away point before the call starts.
• Get Contracts Signed: Send the purchase agreement for e-signature the same day, chase the missing initials, and confirm the earnest money is on its way.
• Own the Pipeline: Keep every live deal stage-accurate in the CRM with a next action and a date, so nothing sits waiting on you.
• Hand Off Clean Files: Pass the executed contract, seller contact, and any lien or occupancy notes to the transaction coordinator in one place.

Do I Need Real Estate Experience to Apply?

Yes, this seat genuinely requires it. Acquisitions is where a wrong number costs your client a real deal, so we look for people who have already closed sales, ideally with sellers or investors. Strong inside sales experience elsewhere can substitute if you pick up comps quickly. A US license is not required, since you support the investor rather than represent a party.

What Hours Will I Work?

Seller calls land across your client's business day, so expect a full US shift rather than a fixed calling block. Mornings usually go to comps and offer prep, midday to scheduled seller conversations, and the late afternoon to chasing signatures. Your specific window gets agreed with the investor before your first week begins.

Can I Apply From Anywhere?

Yes. Our acquisitions managers are hired from anywhere in the world, and sellers care how you handle their situation, not where your desk sits. Closers on our roster work from home across several continents on US hours. Two things decide it: your closing track record, and whether your line stays clean through a fifty minute negotiation.

How Much Does an Acquisitions Manager Earn?

The market range here is $5 to $9 / hr, paid weekly in USD, and most seats add deal bonuses that outweigh the hourly. Where you land tracks your closing history and the size of the spread your client works with, since a team doing assignments pays differently than one buying rentals. Your exact rate is confirmed before you accept a placement.

Do I Need a US Real Estate License?

No. You work for the investor as a principal buying property, not as an agent representing a party in a brokered transaction, so no license is involved. Your client stays responsible for their own compliance and supplies the contracts you use. You never sign in your own name and you never hold funds.

What Software Will I Be Using?

The client supplies all of it: a CRM such as Podio, REsimpli, or Salesforce, a comping tool like PropStream or Batch Leads, and an e-signature account for contracts. Nobody asks you to pay for a subscription or a lead list. Give it a couple of days to learn that client's specific pipeline stages and offer criteria.

Is This a Long-Term Placement?

Yes. Investors hand their pipeline to one closer and keep them for years, because passing warm sellers to a stranger every few months loses deals. Placements are built as ongoing roles with the same client, and your bonus tiers and hourly usually get revisited once a full quarter of closings sits behind you.
