Are You the Property Valuation Expert and Problem Solver We’re Seeking?

At Capital Fund 1, we specialize in short-term real estate bridge loans, and our track record speaks for itself—with nearly $1B currently deployed across vibrant markets. As we expand into Florida, we need a diligent, knowledgeable Real Estate Underwriter based in the Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, or Tampa MSA who has a proven track record of accurate property valuation. If you have an intricate understanding of Florida’s residential markets and can make critical decisions based on your valuations, we want to hear from you.

This is a unique, high-impact opportunity. As our first hire in Florida, you’ll be the boots on the ground as we establish our Florida presence. If you are excited by the prospect of making real decisions on tangible projects with actual money while helping to build something new in your home market, you might be the one we’re looking for.

Key Responsibilities

  • Accurately and decisively value diverse residential properties across Florida’s major metros, including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. Your valuation expertise will be the cornerstone of our lending decisions.
  • Serve as our local market expert, keeping the team informed on trends, property values, and nuances unique to Florida markets. Your insights will be essential to our success.
  • Conduct deep research to gather comprehensive property and market information, ensuring all valuation data is precise and reliable.
  • Perform market research to keep us a step ahead of the competition and identify emerging opportunities.
  • Analyze survey data and provide actionable insights to strengthen Capital Fund 1’s strategies.

  • Current residence in the Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, or Tampa MSA.
  • A keen eye for detail and an unwavering passion for precision in all valuation and underwriting activities.
