Land Underwriter & Dispositions Manager

Land Underwriter & Dispositions Manager. Remote, full-time, 9am–5pm US Eastern. Long-term role with a veteran-owned US land company.

About Patriot Plots. Patriot Plots is a veteran-owned land investment company based in Pennsylvania. We buy rural land directly from owners and resell it, and we subdivide larger parcels into building lots. We have closed 57 deals since 2023 across 15+ states (Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, New York and more). We are a small, remote, process-driven team with our own operations platform, and we are hiring the person who will own valuation and the deal-to-cash side of the business.

The role. You will value land and run every deal from signed contract to money in the bank. That means pulling sold comps and adjusting for frontage, utilities, topography and wetlands; setting our maximum offer and our asking price; screening subdivide candidates; and then driving due diligence, closing, listing and resale. You will be on the phone every day with US title companies, surveyors, perc and soil testers, septic designers, utility companies, county planning offices and real estate agents. Within 90 days you run this with the owner reviewing only large or unusual deals.

What you will do. Underwrite 15–30 parcels a week: sold comps, adjustments, a value, a maximum offer, and a one-paragraph reasoning the closer can use on the phone. Screen subdivide candidates against our checklist (zoning, minimum lot size, frontage, legal access, water and sewer, lot yield) and build a simple pro forma. Run due diligence and closing on every purchase: title, survey, perc test, utility availability, deed restrictions, HOA; keep every file moving every day. Price and list every property we own; coordinate agents, photos, drone, signs and listing sites; follow up with buyers; get buyer contracts to close. Build and manage our vendor bench by state: title companies, surveyors, perc testers, clearing contractors, septic designers, electricians. Own the weekly inventory report: every lot, days held, carrying cost, next action, and who it is waiting on. Log every valuation against the actual sale price so your accuracy is measured and improves.

Must have. Credentials: a degree in civil engineering, geodetic engineering or surveying, architecture, urban or land-use planning, real estate appraisal, environmental science, geology, or agriculture and land management; or 3+ years working in land development, appraisal or BPO work, title or conveyancing, a surveying office, or municipal planning. You already know the basics: perc test, plat, easement, road frontage, setback, septic permit, floodplain, minor vs. major subdivision. We will not teach these; if we explain something once, you have it. Clear, neutral spoken English: this is a phone job with US contractors and agents, a voice sample is required, and a heavy accent is a disqualifier with no exceptions. Comfortable with numbers and spreadsheets; you can show your math. Available 9:00am–5:00pm US Eastern, Monday to Friday, with fast internet and a backup for power and internet. Self-managed: you bring the decision and the reasoning, not the question.

Nice to have. BPO or appraisal support for US lenders or REO companies; US county GIS and assessor records. Subdivision or site-development experience. CRM experience (GoHighLevel or similar), Google Workspace, land data tools (Land Portal, LandID, Regrid).

Compensation and terms. Competitive pay for a credentialed professional, set by your credentials and your test results. Paid twice a month, plus a quarterly bonus tied to gross profit on resales, and paid time off after 90 days. Independent contractor. We discuss the specific figure with finalists; tell us your monthly expectation in your application. This is a long-term role; we want the person who runs this for years. Location: fully remote. Philippines, South Africa, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and elsewhere welcome, as long as you work Eastern hours.

Hiring process. 1) Shortlisted candidates get a paid ($100) 72-hour underwriting test on six of our real closed deals. 2) Two interviews: one with the owner, one live working session on a current file. 3) Offer. Target start date: December 1, 2026.

Patriot Plots is an equal opportunity employer. We hire on credentials, test results and communication, nothing else.
