About this role
Real Estate Investment Associate
Commercial Real Estate Investment Firm | Farmington Hills, MI
Fully Remote (Experienced) / Hybrid (Entry-Level: 1 day/week in-office)
1099 Commission-Based | M–F, 8am–5pm
About the Role
Our client is a commercial real estate investment firm specializing in net lease and investment sales. They're looking for a driven, competitive Real Estate Investment Associate to join their team and build a career in CRE investment sales — no net lease experience required, just the work ethic to grind it out and the intelligence to close.
This is a full sales-cycle role: you'll prospect, nurture, and close deals with support from an in-house marketing team, paired partners, and a steady flow of company-provided leads.
Compensation
• 1099 independent contractor role
• $3,000/month draw while you build your pipeline
• Commission splits starting at 50%, increasing over time
• Average first-year associate earns ~$100K — and it scales up significantly from there as you grow your book
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
• Own the full sales cycle: cold calling, prospect nurturing, and assisting in closing
• Maintain and grow a large database of clients and prospects
• Hit or exceed assigned quotas
• Cold call volume target: 250–300 calls per week
• Leverage company-provided leads while also building your own database
• Partner closely with senior team members (paired with partners at no cost against your split)
• Marketing support is handled in-house — you focus on selling, not collateral
Must-Haves
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent real estate industry experience
• Recent grads welcome, or candidates with some sales experience (net lease experience not required)
• 1+ years of sales experience preferred but not required
• Confident and comfortable with cold calling as a daily discipline
• Competitive, go-getter personality with strong professional work ethic and integrity
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work well in a team environment
• Sharp — this is a hard business to make money in, and you need to be smart to succeed
• Willingness to run 250–300 cold calls per week and live on a draw until your first close
Nice-to-Haves
• Existing book of business or transferable investor relationships
• 1031 exchange familiarity
• Sale-leaseback or industrial experience (operator side)
• General CRE investment sales background
