SURPLUS How do you currently measure daily production goals—by the number of leads researched, completed files, or verified contacts? I'm interested in long-term research work, and this role matches the type of work I enjoy. I have experience working with Excel and Google Sheets, organizing datasets, verifying information, and performing detailed online research where accuracy matters more than speed. While I haven't worked directly in surplus funds, I'm comfortable researching public information, cross-checking details from multiple sources, and keeping clear notes so records stay organized and easy to review. I'm a quick learner and can follow established workflows without constant supervision. I'm available full-time (40 hours per week) and can start within the next week. My internet connection is stable and suitable for full-time remote work. If needed, I'd be happy to complete a small test assignment so you can evaluate the quality and accuracy of my work before moving forward. I look forward to hearing more about your workflow and the research tools your team uses.

"GIVE ME 30 SECONDS TO SHOW YOU WHY I'M THE RIGHT FIT FOR THIS PROJECT.

This resulted in a 30% increase in successful fund claims. I have over 5 years of experience in online research, data entry, and skip tracing in the real estate industry. My attention to detail and ability to work independently make me a perfect match for this role.

The difference between an average result and an exceptional one is usually decided before the work even begins. Regards, Patrick"

SURPLUS. The reason I lead with that word is because accurate skip tracing and surplus funds research only works when the person doing it actually reads the details carefully, which is exactly how I approach every research task. I am detail-oriented, experienced with public records research, Google Sheets, and data organization, and fully available for 40 hours per week starting immediately. I work independently, meet daily production goals without micromanagement, and take pride in delivering clean, verified data rather than rushing through lists at the cost of accuracy. One question before we discuss start date: do you have existing tools or databases you prefer for skip tracing, such as TLO, Spokeo, or BeenVerified, or will I be sourcing information through free public record portals?
