Job Description
A Real Estate Associate plays an essential role in a real estate transaction. In this role, you will advocate for your clients by understanding their preferences, representing them when negotiating a sale and assisting them with every detail of their home purchase and sale. Real estate is an exciting industry that is constantly evolving, and we need someone who is creative, enthusiastic and willing to think outside of the box to give their clients the best real estate experience possible.

You would fit this role as an Entry-Level Real Estate Associate if you love to come up with creative solutions to make yourself stand out in a thriving real estate market. As this is an entry-level position, prior real estate experience is not required. We will provide you with training and resources to prepare you to become a successful agent. Real Estate offers a lot of independence, so if you are a self-starter and enjoy flexibility, this position could be a good fit for you.

Real Estate Agents receive compensation based on their transaction volume. When a sale or purchase is achieved, you will receive a competitive commission. The more sales you close, the more commission you earn. Real Estate Agents often earn more than $100,000 a year, but it can take a couple years to reach that goal as you build your client portfolio.

As a Real Estate Associate, you will...

Help clients price their property and get it ready to put on the market
Stay updated on your local real estate market so you can offer clients an accurate comparison of home sales in their area
Arrange home showings and open houses
Advertise your real estate services to the local community
Represent your clients' best interests during contract negotiations
Communicate with clients regularly and check in on their needs
Create marketing strategies so clients can sell their home quickly and profitably
Develop strategies to obtain referrals and build your client portfolio

As an employer, we will...

Walk you through the process of obtaining a real estate license
Offer training, resources and support to help you become the best real estate agent you can be
Accommodate a flexible work schedule to help you establish a healthy work/life balance
Offer competitive compensation rates
Regulatory Notice: To work as a real estate agent, you must have (or be willing to obtain) a real estate license in the state where you will be working. Like getting a driver's license, state-authorized training/testing is required to obtain a license. Third-party educational institutions provide this fee-based training to the general public.
