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.

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
