Real Estate Agent

About the role

We're hiring a seasoned Real Estate Agent who eats, breathes, and lives this business. You'll own both sides of the transaction - acquisitions and dispositions - for some of the largest institutional buyers and sellers of single family homes in the country. On the acquisition side, you'll work quickly to put together and present offers, then negotiate ruthlessly on behalf of our customers. On the disposition side, you'll manage listings end-to-end: getting them active, fielding and negotiating offers, and keeping deals together from contract to close. You'll have a transaction coordinator handling the back-of-house work once under contract, plus a pricing and field team to help you set strategy and visit homes. This is a high-volume role at a fast-moving Series A startup. Tools change. Processes change. Customers each have specific playbooks you'll be expected to know cold. If chaos energizes you and you find calm in the grind, you'll thrive here. This is the kind of work AI doesn't do well - judgment calls, hard conversations, and the dozen small decisions that keep a deal together. That's why we hire seasoned agents and pair them with the best AI tools we can find - off-the-shelf and proprietary - to multiply what one great agent can do. This role is fully remote within the United States.

Requirements

• This role is built for real estate professionals who:
• Are seasoned super-agents - 5+ years of active, hands-on transaction experience, ideally across both buy and sell side. SFR or institutional experience is a major plus.
• Thrive on volume - You're comfortable with a lot of balls in the air, across markets, with shifting priorities. Nothing falls through the cracks.
• Obsess over the details - You know that one missed detail erodes customer trust. You sweat the small stuff because the small stuff is what keeps deals together. Our customers each have specific playbooks, and you take pride in knowing them cold.
• Negotiate ruthlessly - You play to win, you don't give up, and you keep the customer's terms at the center of every conversation.
• Find calm in chaos, and adopt and champion change - Tooling and process evolve regularly at a Series A startup. You navigate ambiguity without losing your cool or your output, and you're the first to test a new tool or workflow rather than the last.
• Show up when deals need you - Real estate doesn't sleep. Nights and weekends come with the territory.
• Active real estate licenses in at least 3 states within our operating footprint (GA, FL, TX, NC, AZ, TN, AL, IN, OH, MO, KS, NV, CO, CA, OK), with willingness to obtain additional licenses post-hire
• 5+ years of experience as a licensed real estate agent
• Demonstrated experience managing both acquisitions and dispositions - drafting and presenting offers, negotiating terms, listing management, and contract-to-close coordination
• Judgment about when not to use AI, and the ability to evaluate AI outputs for accuracy and Fair Housing compliance before they reach a client or counterparty
• Strong technical skills: Salesforce or a similar CRM, G-Suite, Slack, MacOS, and the ability to work in multiple systems simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to confidently represent Mainstay and our customers
