We're hiring a Real Estate Acquisitions Associate to build relationships with property owners, investors, and dealmakers and to source off-market deals as we scale a relationship-driven deal engine. Summary Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.Flexible Time: Can do full-time, part-time, side-gig (off-hours), or fractional (contract).Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term, long-term, or intermittent.No license required. Investors, wholesalers, dispositions reps, and relationship-driven sales pros welcome — a license is a plus, not a requirement. Why so flexible? We're a FUNDED startup racing to launch end of Q3 2026. That gives us just 3 months to stack features while raising additional working capital. Feel free to jump in, help us ship, then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. We're also interested in long-term "side gig" relationships, if that's what you're into—in our experience, a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours. About Us We're a credible, funded, remote-first startup backed by a growing team. We're pre-launch and moving fast — building the kind of relationship-based deal network that real estate has always run on, just faster and at scale. About The Role Real estate has never been about listings — it's about relationships. The best deals never hit the MLS; they move through people who know people. That's exactly the muscle this role is built on. We need someone who lives in the off-market world: someone who can build genuine relationships with motivated sellers, investors, wholesalers, and agents, keep a network warm on both the buy and sell side, and turn conversations into deals. You'll be the human on the other end of the phone — the person people trust enough to bring a deal to first. This is part acquisitions, part relationship management, part "always be building the network." If you're the type who'd rather pick up the phone than send a template, who remembers what a seller mentioned three calls ago, and who gets energy from connecting the right buyer to the right deal, this is your seat. Compensation Up to $150,000+ OTE (base plus uncapped commission) for full-time performers; cash, commission, and equity components to be negotiated. Given the flexible commitment model, comp will be structured accordingly — fractional, hourly, or performance-only arrangements welcome for the right relationships and deal flow.
