Summary and responsibilities
Role overview
Summary
This role involves converting motivated seller leads into profitable signed contracts for a fast-growing real estate investment company. The specialist will manage the entire front-end deal process, including seller conversations, offer positioning, negotiation, and diligent follow-up. Success is measured by consistent contract closures and effective pipeline management.
The Opportunity
Legacy Property Buyers is a small fast-growing real estate investment company that specializes in helping homeowners sell their properties through creative solutions, including cash purchases and novations.
We are hiring a Full-time Acquisitions Specialist to work alongside our existing acquisitions team and help us convert motivated seller leads into signed contracts. Since we are a smaller company, we are looking for people who want to grow with us exponentially.
This is not a soft sales role. This is not a “take a few calls and hope something lands” position. You will be speaking with homeowners in real situations, uncovering motivation, solving problems, negotiating under pressure, and locking up profitable deals that our Dispositions team can sell and close.
If you are looking for an easy remote job, this is not it.
If you are a competitive, coachable, high-ownership closer who wants to earn serious money, sharpen your sales skills, and be part of a team that is aggressively growing, keep reading.
We are looking for someone who can handle pressure, move fast, take feedback, and produce results without needing to be babysat.
Compensation
OTE: $150,000–$200,000+ per year
Compensation is performance-driven and may include:
Base for first 30 days+ commission
100% commission structure after 30 days (our performing reps earn $15k per month average)
Top-performing Acquisitions Specialists who hit minimum KPIs and consistently close profitable contracts can earn $150K–$200K+ annually.
This is a role where strong closers are paid like strong closers.
What You’ll Own
Your job is to:
Convert qualified motivated seller leads into profitable signed contracts.
You will own the front end of the deal process, including seller conversations, motivation discovery, offer positioning, negotiation, follow-up, and contract execution.
Your performance will be measured by your ability to:
Lock up profitable contracts consistently
Convert leads into real opportunities
Build trust with sellers quickly
Create clean handoffs to Dispositions
Maintain clean CRM notes and follow-up discipline
Hit weekly and monthly KPI targets
Improve through coaching and feedback
Core Responsibilities
1. Seller Conversations + Lead Conversion
You will speak directly with homeowners who have responded to our marketing and may be interested in selling their property.
You will be responsible for:
Calling new inbound leads quickly (less than 5 minutes speed to lead)
Building rapport and trust with sellers
Understanding the seller’s situation, motivation, timeline, property condition, and desired outcome
Asking strong discovery questions
Identifying whether the seller is a fit for a cash offer, novation, creative structure, or follow-up nurture
Handling objections professionally
Following up aggressively without sounding desperate or pushy
Moving qualified sellers toward a clear decision
You must be comfortable having real conversations with people who may be emotional, skeptical, guarded, or difficult to reach.
2. Offer Strategy + Negotiation
You will not just “give offers.” You will learn how to position offers based on the seller’s actual problem and the property’s real market value.
You will be responsible for:
Analyzing seller motivation and property details
Working with underwriting/support to determine deal viability
Presenting cash offers and novation solutions clearly
Explaining trade-offs between speed, certainty, convenience, and price
Negotiating purchase price, terms, closing timelines, and seller expectations
Getting signed contracts that are profitable and executable
Avoiding bad contracts that waste the team’s time
The goal is not to lock up anything at any price. The goal is to lock up clean, profitable, sellable deals.
3. Follow-Up Discipline
Most deals do not close on the first call. Your money will be made in the follow-up.
You will be responsible for:
Maintaining consistent follow-up with warm and nurture leads
Keeping every seller updated with a clear next step
Using CRM tasks, notes, and reminders properly
Reviving old leads when timing changes
Staying persistent without damaging trust
Knowing when to push, when to slow down, and when to disqualify
If you are not organized, you will lose deals.
4. CRM, KPI, and Pipeline Accountability
We run a performance culture. You will be expected to know your numbers.
You will be responsible for:
Keeping all lead notes clean and updated
Logging calls, conversations, offers, follow-ups, and outcomes
Updating lead stages accurately
Reporting weekly KPIs
Attending required huddles and coaching sessions
Communicating blockers early
Taking ownership when performance is off
No vague excuses. No disappearing. No “I thought someone else had it.”
You own your pipeline.
5. Team Collaboration
You will work closely with our Dispositions team to make sure every contract you lock up is clean, profitable, and positioned correctly.
You will be responsible for:
Creating smooth handoffs to Dispositions
Giving clear seller context, motivation, pricing logic, and deal notes
Taking feedback when a deal is not structured correctly
Improving your underwriting, negotiation, and seller qualification over time
We are a small team. Communication matters.
