What We're Looking For (Is This You?):

  • A natural-born networker and relationship-builder with an outgoing, engaging personality.
  • Proven experience in B2B sales or business development, ideally within the real estate industry or a related field (though a passion for it can go a long way).
  • A self-starter who is highly motivated, results-oriented, and thrives in an autonomous environment – especially crucial for launching a new market.
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills. You can articulate value clearly and persuasively.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
  • Tech-savvy, with proficiency in CRM software and sales tracking tools.
