The Field Associate role encompasses two primary functions: Showings and Property Evaluations. This is a contracted hourly position that is suited for those with a background in real estate showings, property management, home evaluations, or appraisals.

As a Field Associate representing Doorstead during Property Evaluations, you will travel to properties and assess the current state of a property in terms of physical condition upon start of management and during tenant move-ins & move-outs.

Appointments are set as needed and can last 1-2 hours.
