Roofstock application questions — all 53, word for word
Roofstock hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 53 questions, 50 of them required. 4 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
73 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in operations and finance. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What Roofstock has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as Roofstock titles them, in Dallas, Texas, United States, Rockaway Beach, Oregon, United States, Atlanta, Georgia, United States, Charleston, South Carolina, United States:
- Account Resolution Specialist

- Portfolio Asset Manager
- Pricing and Procurement Manager
- Property Accountant, Institutional
- Resident Experience Manager
- Senior Legal Operations Manager
- Accounting Manager
- Assistant Property Manager

51 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Do you have 5+ years of asset or portfolio management experience within multifamily, BTR, or SFR portfolios across more than one market, where you were directly accountable to a client, fund, or ownership group for all portfolio financial performance and outcomes?”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Roofstock does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — Roofstock's asks for 50 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
