Home Buying Specialist | Real Estate Investing

Summary

House Buying Specialist

Cleveland, OH | Full-Time | Leads & Appointments Provided | Commission-Based

The Triv Team is seeking a motivated, competitive Home Buying Specialist to help acquire and move investment properties throughout Northeast Ohio.

This is not a traditional real estate agent role. Leads and appointments are provided, and your job is to meet with homeowners, evaluate opportunities, negotiate deals, get properties under contract, and help manage those opportunities through their eventual exit.

You’ll learn the real estate investment business from both sides, including acquisitions, quick flips dispositions, renovations, and other creative exit strategies.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Attending qualified seller appointments
• Building trust and understanding each homeowner’s situation
• Evaluating properties and estimating repairs
• Making and negotiating cash offers
• Getting profitable properties under contract
• Following up with sellers who are not ready to make an immediate decision
• Helping market wholesale properties to investors
• Communicating with cash buyers and coordinating walkthroughs
• Negotiating assignment opportunities and securing end buyers

This is a hands-on, performance-driven opportunity with significant income and growth potential.

No prior real estate experience is required. Strong sales, negotiation, communication, and problem-solving skills are more important.

Responsibilities

• Attend company-scheduled seller appointments throughout Northeast Ohio.
• Build rapport with homeowners and understand their motivation, timeline, property condition, and goals.
• Walk properties, evaluate condition, estimate repairs, take detailed photos, and document visible repair needs.
• Analyze opportunities and present appropriate cash offers within company guidelines.
• Negotiate purchase agreements and work to secure profitable properties under contract.
• Consistently follow up with sellers who are not ready to move forward immediately.
• Help determine the best exit strategy for acquired properties, including quick flips, renovation, wholetail, or retail referral.
• Market quick flip opportunities to the company’s network of real estate investors and cash buyers.
• Communicate with buyers, answer property questions, and coordinate buyer walkthroughs.
• Negotiate assignment prices and help secure qualified end buyers.
• Maintain accurate notes, follow-up tasks, property information, and deal status inside the CRM.
• Coordinate with the Lead Manager, Operations Manager, transaction team, contractors, and ownership as needed.
• Assist with property access for contractors, inspectors, photographers, buyers, vendors, and other service providers when necessary.
• Take ownership of deals and proactively solve problems that could prevent a transaction from closing.

Qualifications

• Strong communication, relationship-building, and interpersonal skills.
• Comfortable meeting homeowners face-to-face and discussing potentially difficult situations.
• Competitive, motivated, and performance-driven.
• Strong negotiation skills and comfortable asking for the business.
• Coachable, dependable, organized, and willing to follow a proven process.
• Persistent with follow-up and comfortable hearing “no.”
• Able to think quickly, solve problems, and make sound decisions.
• Comfortable working independently while remaining accountable to clear performance expectations.
• Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and willingness to travel throughout Northeast Ohio.
• Comfortable entering vacant, distressed, or poorly maintained properties.
• Flexible schedule with occasional evening or weekend appointments based on seller availability.
• Comfortable using a smartphone, Google Workspace, basic CRM technology, and property-related apps.
• Real estate experience is not required.
• Experience in sales, automotive sales, roofing, construction, insurance, home improvement, real estate, or another commission-driven environment is a plus.

About-our-team

The Triv Team is a Cleveland-based real estate company focused on helping homeowners buy, sell, and solve challenging real estate situations throughout Northeast Ohio.

We operate both a traditional residential real estate business and an active real estate investment company that purchases homes directly from homeowners.

Our investment business acquires properties through direct marketing and seller-generated opportunities, then determines the best solution for each property. Depending on the opportunity, we may renovate and resell the property, quick flip it to another investor, wholetail it, or refer the homeowner to our traditional real estate team.

We invest heavily in marketing to generate motivated seller opportunities, which means our Home Buying Specialist does not have to rely 100% on their own efforts to get appointments but we strongly encourage that you do some of your own outreach.

Our team includes lead management, operations support, transaction coordination, contractors, real estate agents, and ownership support.

For the right person, this role offers the opportunity to learn the real estate investment business from the inside, earn significant performance-based income, and eventually take ownership of a major part of our acquisition and disposition operation.
